Cambrian, San Jose, CA

Cambrian is a well-established neighborhood in West San Jose, located at the edge of the city’s border with Campbell. The area blends suburban tranquility with excellent connectivity, offering residents tree-lined streets, well-kept homes, and convenient access to both neighborhood essentials and regional amenities. The neighborhood is anchored by Union Avenue and Foxworthy Avenue, with a street grid that creates a walkable, community-oriented layout. Most of the homes here are mid-century single-family properties, many of which have been updated over the years. Wide lots and mature trees lend a strong sense of curb appeal to many of the residential streets. Just outside the neighborhood’s western edge is Downtown Campbell, one of the South Bay’s most popular destinations for food, nightlife, and shopping. Residents can enjoy close proximity to Campbell Park, the Los Gatos Creek Trail, and light rail stations without sacrificing a quiet home base. Grocery stores, restaurants, and coffee shops are all close by — particularly along Bascom Avenue and Camden Avenue. While the neighborhood itself doesn’t feature large parks within its borders, the nearby Houge Park and Edith Morley Park offer plenty of green space, and Camden Community Center sits right along the eastern boundary, providing fitness facilities, a pool, and classes for all ages. The combination of convenient commute access, proximity to dining and entertainment, and a peaceful neighborhood feel make Cambrian a sought-after spot for homebuyers looking for balance in San Jose’s urban-suburban mix.
