Ever wondered what it was like to actually live on Park Place when you played Monopoly as a kid?

The designers behind Park Place Apartments in downtown Mountain View sure did. And what they came up with resulted in awards from the Pacific Coast Builders Conference, The Harvard Graduate School of Design, and the Mayor's Award from the City of Mountain View. So what exactly did they do right? How about spacious top-floor apartments with vaulted ceilings, and cozy apartments with fireplaces and personal washers and dryers for starters.

Within walking distance is Mountain View's VTA connection to CalTrain, the area's bus system, and the Mountain View - Winchester light-rail line. Located just down the road from Google, Microsoft, Adobe, and AOL, Park Place is certainly worth checking out if you're looking to move to the area or simply upgrade your current living situation.
