Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Coyote is the part of San Jose most people forget the city even owns: the rural valley at the far south end, where the tract homes give out and the land goes back to farms, ranches, and open grassland along Coyote Creek and the Monterey Road and 101 corridor. This is protected country, deliberately kept from development, with open-space preserves rising into the hills on either side. What that means on the ground is space, quiet, and a horizon that most of the city does not get, in exchange for being genuinely far from everything. There is no neighborhood shopping to speak of, errands mean a real drive north or south to Morgan Hill, and daily life is built entirely around the car. It is less a neighborhood than a landscape, best understood as agricultural and open-space land with a scattering of homes. For anyone whose idea of San Jose is sidewalks and shopping centers, this is the opposite end of that.
