About this House

What's unique:Private patiosLarge landscaped complexBeautiful tall shade treesLarge private patiosOrchard and community gardenOpen floor plans downstairs
Ananda Community is a 72-unit garden apartment on 5 acres of natural surroundings. There is a feeling of peace and natural beauty that is rarely found in traditional apartment settings.

 What you'll find:
- Large, landscaped complex with unusual areas of open space; unique in the Bay Area
 - A friendly, stable community where residents tend to know each other
 - VERY large, central, grassy courtyard with beautiful tall shade trees
 - Swimming pool, solar heated in summer
 - Orchard and community garden
 - Safe, walkable, residential neighborhood
 - Easy walking, biking, or short drives to extensive shopping nearby: Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Walmart, Safeway, and more
 - San Antonio Caltrain station nearby
 - Bike routes nearby
 - Conveniently close to El Camino, 101, 280, Stanford, and many tech companies
 - Los Altos and Mountain View school districts

Truth-in-advertising: This is an older apartment building (1960s) without amenities like dishwashers, AC, or EV chargers. But it's lovingly maintained, and we think more enjoyable to live in than more modern construction. You be the judge.

Types of units here:
- STUDIOS with large covered decks and views (upstairs). Unusually large layouts and closet space, including a separate small bedroom or office
- JUNIOR 1BR (downstairs) with private patios, large living rooms, and small bedrooms that can accommodate up to a queen bed.
- LARGE 1BR (downstairs) with private patios
- LARGE 1BR (upstairs) with large covered decks and views
- TOWNHOUSES (2-story, 2-bedrooms) with open floor plans downstairs, large private patios. Bathroom, and one large and one smaller bedroom upstairs

Ananda Community has been in existence in Mountain View since 1989. Many of the residents are part of Ananda, a spiritual center based on the yoga and meditation teachings of Yogananda. The property has a peaceful feeling. Anyone may live here; all are welcome.

Year-long lease minimum. Residents are responsible for their unit's gas, electric and internet.

All the neighbors have been incredibly friendly, and have always felt safe despite not having the best lit streets. Lots of young families, and great community park for kids and dogs. Love that it's still walkable to castro and shoreline. "
