About
Castro City is a small enclave of homes that span a two-by-two block area. Most homes here were built in the 1960s and 1970s, designed originally as Ranch-style homes ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 square feet. Today, the most homes boast a Craftsman-style, having been built around 2001. Price-points for these single-family homes are comparable to some townhouses, making this neighborhood appealing to first-time homebuyers with a family. Much to the delight of Castro City residents, Rengstorff Park, one of Mountain View’s largest parks, is within convenient strolling distance. Rengstorff Park provides amenities like barbecue facilities, picnic areas, baseball and softball fields, basketball courts, a skate park, a children’s playground, tennis courts, and an outdoor volleyball court. Having such a great amenity within strolling distance grants high desirability to this neighborhood.
