Slater, Mountain View Homes for sale, recent sales and a Property Nerd’s guide

Easy Street runs up the west side to Middlefield Road, with Savannah Loop and the Minaret Avenue blocks below it near Central Expressway. Ada Avenue runs north-south through the middle from Minaret Avenue to Gladys Avenue, and Tyrella Avenue picks up at Gladys and continues north to Middlefield. Gladys Avenue is the main east-west street, running from Easy Street to North Whisman Road, with Kittoe Drive parallel to the north. Short courts and loops fill the blocks: Savannah Loop, Calistoga Way, Avellino Way, Serena Court, Denardi Lane, Brenton Court, Cassandra Way, Leslie Court, Surrey Place and Skyview Court.

There is no R1 single-family zoning in Slater. On the city's zoning map more than half the land is R3 multiple-family and about a quarter is R2 one- and two-family. In the assessor data, about 260 pre-1981 homes are recorded individually, mostly attached condo or townhouse units: the median is about 1,020 sq ft and roughly four in five have two bedrooms. Another hundred or so multifamily buildings hold about 830 units, including about 500 in a few large complexes on North Whisman Road and 30 duplexes on Kittoe Drive, on lots of about 8,100 sq ft.

Newer townhome streets fill in the rest. Ada Avenue (about 250 parcels, mostly small townhouse lots), Avellino Way, Savannah Loop and Minaret Avenue do not appear in the pre-1981 assessor layer, so they were built later. When you shop here you are mostly comparing HOA communities of different ages, plus the occasional duplex sold as a whole building.
