Heatherstone just a hop, skip, and a latte to downtown Mountain View, Silicon Valley employers, and the San Francisco Bay. Sure you may like the diversity of SF, but Castro Street will soon become one of your favorite places to go. It's a six-block pedestrian-friendly street located in downtown Mountain View. The restaurants leave their chairs out on the sidewalk overnight - it's that friendly. In a one-block civic center is City Hall, the Center for Performing Arts and the Mountain View Public Library. Behind these landmarks is Pioneer Park, a quiet respite from the Civic Center, which dims the noise from the vibrant nearby Castro Street.

Lastly, Heatherstone is close to Mountain View's Valley Transportation Authority, which will connect you to the area's light-rail and bus system. So if you're looking for a car-light living situation, North Park Apartments in Mountain View is certainly a place to check out.
