Neighborhood Review

Key Words:

Warehouse-adjacent living, Big-box access, Transitional zone

This area surrounding the now-closed Silicon Valley University is a patchwork of light industrial zones, corporate campuses, and emerging residential pockets. Sandwiched between I-880 and the Berryessa corridor, the neighborhood reflects a utilitarian side of San Jose, better known for warehouses and business parks than community charm. Residential streets here are modest and somewhat disconnected, with rows of newer townhomes and condos filling in what used to be mostly commercial land. Housing tends to be more affordable by Silicon Valley standards, and many newer builds aim to attract commuters or workers from nearby tech firms. That said, the area’s identity still feels in flux - a place where convenience outweighs personality. Access to shopping is strong, with Costco, 99 Ranch Market, and the Great Mall within short driving distance. However, walkability is limited, and green space is sparse. Streets are wide and heavily trafficked, and public transit is a mixed bag unless you're near light rail lines along Capitol or Hostetter.
