Neighborhood Reviews & Questions

Neighborhood Review
Key Words: Lynhaven Elementary, Campbell Schools, Westside Grid

Lynhaven is a West San Jose neighborhood that takes its name and much of its identity from its elementary school, part of the Campbell district that draws families to this side of the city. It is flat, single-family tract territory on the valley floor near the Payne, Williams and Saratoga corridors, a settled, quiet pocket where the school and the surrounding shopping do the everyday work. The appeal is a calm street, Campbell-area schools, and an accessible West Side location near the Westgate-area retail. The honest tradeoffs are the car-dependence, since the nearest light rail is a couple of miles east and errands mean a short drive to the arterials, and a workaday streetscape without a marquee park at its center. But it is a dependable, family-oriented neighborhood that holds its value on schools and location rather than flash. For a buyer who wants a quiet West San Jose street with a well-liked elementary and easy access to the area's shopping, Lynhaven is a steady, unpretentious choice.
