Wedged between Lincoln Glen and Canoas Garden, the Curtner Ave area offers a quiet residential pocket defined by broad streets, well-kept mid-century ranch homes, and a notable absence of through traffic. Despite its central San Jose location, this neighborhood maintains a low-profile vibe—residential, calm, and clearly cared for. Schallenberger Elementary is a local anchor and consistently one of the area’s most sought-after public schools. The neighborhood also benefits from its proximity to Presentation High School, a private all-girls school with deep community roots. Most homes are single-level with wide setbacks, and many sit on generous lots with mature landscaping, especially along Husted and Cherry Avenues. Shopping and errands are easy with Curtner Commons and the Almaden Expressway just minutes away, while nearby Willow Glen provides charm, cafés, and walkable streets when you want something more active. Residents enjoy the balance of peaceful streets with fast access to downtown and the 87.
