Neighborhood Reviews & Questions

Neighborhood Review
Key Words: Gated Country Club, Private Golf, Hillside Luxury

Silver Creek Valley is San Jose's marquee gated golf community, wrapped around a private championship course in the eastern foothills. The Silver Creek Valley Country Club, whose Ted Robinson-designed course opened in 1992, is the heart of it, and the neighborhood is a collection of gated, HOA-governed luxury homes climbing the Silver Creek Hills above the valley, with open-space preserves for a backdrop. This is about as exclusive as San Jose residential gets: controlled access, manicured landscaping, big view lots, and the quiet that comes with all of it. Locals draw a clear line between 'up in Silver Creek,' meaning the gated hillside, and the flatland Evergreen tracts below. The draw is privacy, prestige and hillside living with a country club essentially in the neighborhood. The honest tradeoffs are the ones that come with the territory: it is gated with HOA dues, the golf and most amenities are members-only, and it is among the most car-dependent parts of the city, with every errand a drive down the hill. But for buyers who want a private, upscale, view-filled address with golf and open space at the doorstep, Silver Creek Valley is the top of the east-side market and has been for a generation.
