Noble Ave, San Jose, CA

Perched high above Berryessa on the first ridgeline of the Diablo Range, Noble Ave encompasses winding hillside roads dotted with custom homes, small ranch properties, and a handful of newer view estates. Lots sprawl across chaparral‐covered slopes, so every address feels private and most back straight to open space, looking west across the entire Santa Clara Valley and to downtown San Jose lights at night. Amenities are sparse by design, but trailheads into Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve sit inside the boundary, offering miles of hiking, cycling, and raptor‐watching right out the front door. A quick drive downhill reaches Piedmont Hills conveniences - grocery stores, cafés, Berryessa Branch Library - and I‐680 links commuters to tech campuses in 20 minutes under normal traffic. Life up here is quiet, nature‐forward, and a bit rugged: narrow two‐lane roads, limited street lighting, and the occasional roaming deer are part of the package. Yards range from meticulously landscaped gated estates to more rustic acreage with horses or hobby orchards, so curb appeal varies but is generally above average for San Jose’s east foothills.
