Mcabee Rd , San Jose, CA

Centered on the fairways of Almaden Golf and Country Club, the McAbee enclave feels more like a private park than a city block. One-story and two-story custom homes sweep around the course in a gentle horseshoe, many with picture windows framing greens or Mt Umunhum ridgelines. Streets are wide, mature sycamores canopy the sidewalks, and weekend mornings bring a quiet parade of golf carts and cyclists rolling toward Hicks Road’s hill climbs. Daily errands stay relaxed: Safeway and a cluster of cafés on Camden are five minutes up the boulevard, while Le Boulanger and Benchmark Library anchor a small community hub on Almaden Expressway. Kids bike to Castillero Middle just north of the gates, and Little League games play late under the lights at Almaden Meadows Park. Homeowners trade stories over wine on the clubhouse patio or at neighborhood movie nights in nearby Guadalupe Oak Grove Park. Living here means serenity with a few concessions. Cell reception can dip closer to Webb Canyon. Wild turkeys and deer wander freely, creating a constant need for garden fencing. Evening drives back from downtown San Jose stretch to thirty minutes when Almaden Expressway clogs. Still, residents prize the blend of open-space access, country-club amenities, and a friendly, low-traffic loop where walkers greet every passing car.
