Neighborhood Reviews & Questions

Neighborhood Review
Key Words: Neighborhood Park, Willow Glen Feel, Church Campus

Lincoln Glen carries the leafy, settled character of southern Willow Glen and adds a green center of its own. The neighborhood park and the large Lincoln Glen church campus give it real civic anchors and a sense of place, and the whole area has the shaded, established feel that draws people to this part of San Jose in the first place. The housing is older single-family stock on quiet residential streets, and the walkable Willow Glen retail on Lincoln Avenue is a short stretch to the north, so you get a lot of the Willow Glen lifestyle without being right on the strip. It is a calm, residential pocket that rewards people who want the neighborhood feel more than the nightlife. The honest note is that it is primarily residential, so the shops and restaurants are a walk or quick drive up Lincoln rather than at your corner. For buyers who want Willow Glen's character centered on a park and a quieter street, Lincoln Glen fits neatly.
