Most cops in Mountain View with families live in Milpitas or east San Jose which are all a 25 minute drive and (according to Redfin a minute ago) have quite a few of sub 1.2M options. The single cops live in apartments in MountIn View, Palo Alto or Menlo Park. The MV Police agency is so flush they subsidize living expenses for their cops as well.

Not surprised to hear that. I can't imagine making that much and still being priced out of owning a detached home in the area, unless you're a dual income household. At least this area has a ton of appealing options out in the suburbs and rural towns that are priced accordingly.
