172 Brand New Apartments in Los Altos
Harken is located within the Los Altos school district, with Almond Elementary, Egan Junior High and Los Altos High as the currently assigned schools. For growing families (and with Harken’s large one- and two-bedroom floor plans averaging 1,134 square feet), that means room for today, with tomorrow feeling a little closer.
With downtown Los Altos on one side and downtown Mountain View on the other, Harken puts neighborhood charm, everyday conveniences, and plenty of ways to get outside within easy reach.
How It Was, Is How It Is. Only Better.
Remember when a good day didn’t require three calendar invites and a fully charged phone? Harken brings a little of that feeling back. Warm wood, natural light and room to live give everyday life a slower, easier rhythm. The pool is waiting when the sun is out. Los Altos is right outside when it’s time to wander. It’s familiar without being stuck in the past. A modern home for remembering that sometimes the simple life was onto something.

What's Good In The Neighborhood
Just how much enjoyment can you squeeze out of one apartment community? A whole heck of a lot, especially with amenities like these. Take a look at what's good in the neighborhood.
Listening Lounge
Press Play. An analog oasis for a digital world. Flip through the vinyl, put on an old favorite, or find a new one, and settle in. Stay for an album, get some work done, stay for an afternoon.
Post Up Poolside
Pool Days Are Back. Some afternoons don’t need an itinerary. Take a dip, swim a few laps, or claim a sunny spot and do absolutely nothing for a while. Marco Polo remains an option, obviously.
Where Calories Go To Die
Move a Little. Morning workout. After-work reset. Something in between. The fitness center is ready whenever you are, with plenty of room to stretch, sweat and remember that recess was actually a pretty good idea.

Nearby Places
Downtown Los Altos
Downtown Los Altos has small-town charm down to an art. Tree-lined streets lead to local boutiques, cafés, restaurants, and shops throughout its walkable downtown village. It’s an easy place to spend an afternoon with no particular agenda—which, come to think of it, might be the best agenda of all.
Shoreline Park
Shoreline Park is a big, beautiful recreational area that spans over 700 acres along the San Francisco Bay. It features expansive grassy areas, private picnic spots, walking and biking trails, a golf course, and a lake. The park is famous for stunning views of the bay and is home to a variety of wild critters.
Downtown Mountain View
Downtown Mountain View has plenty to keep you wandering. Castro Street is lined with restaurants, cafés, shops, and plenty of places to grab a drink or a bite. Better yet, several blocks are pedestrian-only, so strolling is practically encouraged. Come for dinner, stay for dessert, then keep walking until you find an excuse for one more stop.
