Neighborhood Reviews & Questions

Neighborhood Review

Key Words:

Transit Access, Mixed Character, Central Location

Situated between the Tamien rail hub and the lively neighborhoods of Willow Glen and Midtown, the Bird Ave area combines central location with a mix of charm and edge. It’s a diverse and evolving neighborhood defined by quiet residential streets, longtime local businesses, and close proximity to key commuter corridors like Highway 87 and I-280. Homes here are mostly mid-century single-family residences, some lovingly maintained while others show signs of age. Yards are modest, but many blocks feature mature trees and a strong sense of community. Streets like Coe, Fuller, and Snyder are lined with modest ranch homes and bungalows, and the neighborhood as a whole is walkable thanks to its grid layout and proximity to small retail spots and restaurants, especially near Willow Street and Almaden Road. While not as polished as neighboring Willow Glen, Bird Ave's value lies in its location. It’s a quick bike or drive to downtown San Jose, Diridon Station, and the SAP Center. Residents also benefit from access to multiple parks like Fuller Park and Del Monte Park, making it a convenient option for those who want to stay close to the city core without the high price tag of more established neighborhoods.
