U.S. Route 321, a four-lane expressway, crosses the eastern corner of the Mountain View CDP, where its Exit 42 provides access to NC 127. Exit 42 is 1 mile (1.6 km) south of US 321's intersection with Interstate 40 in Hickory.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the Mountain View CDP has a total area of 4.6 square miles (12.0 km2), of which 0.01 square miles (0.03 km2), or 0.22%, is water.[4]
