Neighborhood Reviews & Questions

Neighborhood Review
Key Words: San Felipe Corridor, Foothill Homes, Country-Club Adjacent

Silver Creek is the foothill residential belt on the east side, strung along San Felipe Road where the valley floor climbs into the Diablo Range hills. It is part of the broader, well-heeled Silver Creek area, and it borders the gated Silver Creek Valley Country Club just to the south, which sets the tone for the neighborhood: newer hillside homes, a settled feel, and Evergreen schools like Silver Oak and Chaboya nearby. The draw here is a quieter, higher-end setting with hillside terrain and open space close at hand. The honest tradeoffs are the car-dependence, since there is little walkable retail and errands mean a drive down to the Aborn and Capitol Expressway corridors, and the general remove from the rest of the city. But for buyers who want a newer foothill home in a calm, upper-tier east-side setting near a country club and good schools, Silver Creek delivers that combination. It is one of the more comfortable addresses in the Evergreen foothills without being fully gated.
