Neighborhood Review

Key Words:

Golf Course Edge, Light Industrial Border, Transit-Accessible

Tucked between the Berryessa Crossing shopping center and the Oakland Road Business Park, this pocket neighborhood—centered around Chen Street—feels like a blend of suburban calm and light industrial bustle. While not widely known by name, the area’s identity is shaped more by landmarks than a distinct community label, and locals may simply refer to it as part of Berryessa or North San Jose. Homes in the area are a mix of mid-century ranch styles and newer subdivisions, with several blocks showing clear investment in upkeep and landscaping. Some streets back up to commercial zones or mobile home parks, leading to inconsistent curb appeal depending on the block. That said, its proximity to the San Jose Municipal Golf Course and easy access to both 880 and 101 make it a surprisingly convenient hub for commuters. Retail is easily accessible along Berryessa and Hostetter, and Safeway anchors the closest commercial plaza. There are no major parks within the neighborhood bounds, but Vinci Park and Flickinger Park are just outside the edges, and light recreation options exist within the golf course perimeter and adjacent trails. The area’s feel is quiet, if somewhat fragmented, with an urban-suburban hybrid character.
