Calabazas South, San Jose, CA
Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Key Words:
Creek-side trail, Library hangout, Easy commutes
Calabazas South is a quiet wedge of ranch homes tucked between Calabazas Creek greenbelt and the bustle of De Anza Boulevard. Most houses date to the late-1960s, one-story layouts with wide eaves and two-car garages; many owners have refreshed façades with smooth stucco and drought-friendly gardens, so curb appeal feels neat but not showy. Evenings bring a steady stream of joggers and stroller walks along the creek trail, while kids ride bikes on the low-traffic interior lanes. The neighborhood’s social hub is Calabazas Branch Library and its adjacent park just north of the tract. Families linger for story time, then cross to the playgrounds, basketball courts, and weekend soccer meet-ups on the turf. A five-minute drive west reaches Westgate and Mitsuwa for groceries and ramen stops, yet inside the tract traffic noise stays minimal despite nearby Highway 85. Tech commuters appreciate quick freeway and expressway access, and Cupertino-Union schools draw many buyers, with bus stops scattered throughout the block grid.
