Silicon Valley Real Estate Guide

The Blossom Valley Shopping Center, which is located at the corner of Miramonte Avenue and Cuesta Drive, plays a vital roll in our community.  For those who live in the surrounding neighborhoods of Varsity Park, Springer Meadows, Blossom Valley Estates, Gest Ranch, Cuesta Park and parts of south Los Altos, the Blossom Valley Shopping Center provides needed goods and services as well as acting as a social meeting place for its neighbors.   Because the shopping center is surrounded by residential neighborhoods, many people walk to do their shopping.

Safeway and Longs Pharmacy are the anchor stores.  I frequently run into neighbors or Springer Elementary and/or Blach intermediate and/or Mountain View high school parents at Safeway.  Saint Francis high students meet every morning before school to get their speciality coffee drinks from the in-store Starbucks.  They also can be seen buying sandwiches, sushi or foods from the deli-counter.

Longs is the place to get your prescriptions filled or to purchase toiletries.  It also tends to be an after school stop for students seeking candy, soda and other junk food.   Longs also has a film processing counter.
