San Jose

Where a rich history collides with modern amenities.

Welcome to San Jose

 
Where a rich history collides with modern amenities
 
San Jose is a hip, bustling community in the center of Silicon Valley. It became what it is today after the development of high technology and electronics boosted the agricultural region’s transition into a central metropolitan area. Now it is widely known for its innovation and diversity. Yet, it is also a dynamic walkable community with a historic charm. Although the city is highly populated, it is geographically large, allowing residents and visitors to spread out. The city is full of life but doesn’t feel crowded.
 

What to Love

 
  • Mild, Mediterranean-like climate 
  • A multitude of unique and beautiful neighborhoods 
  • Access to excellent schools 
  • Highly desirable Bay Area community

Local Lifestyle

 
The tech-focused urbanization of San Jose gives the city an on-the-go vibe. At the same time, the stunning historic architecture, distinct neighborhoods, and unique shops offer a dynamic and personalized experience that cannot be matched. With a sunny, mild climate, San Jose’s outdoor scene has a lot to offer, and there are also a variety of museums and upscale shopping venues to suit all interests. San Jose is considered a highly distinguished community compared to similar surrounding cities, making it one of the most sought-after places in the state to call home.
 

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

 
If it is variety you seek, San Jose delivers. Featuring an open kitchen in a rustic-chic eatery, The Table serves a local and seasonal menu of New American cuisine. If you are in the mood for sushi, Sushi Confidential is a modern sushi house with a warm atmosphere that serves creative rolls and traditional Japanese fare. Dry Creek Grill is a casual but upscale establishment serving steak, seafood favorites, and small-batch bourbons. Original Joe’s is a lively Italian restaurant and bar with a relaxed vibe. Serving up local beers and delicious pub-grub favorites, Henry’s World Famous Hi-Life is another hot spot, with a bar, sports lounge, and outdoor seating.

When it is time to shop, you have many options across San Jose. Santana Row is an upscale shopping center with bars and restaurants. You can frequently enjoy live music here, making this a great place to relax. Other popular shopping centers include Westfield Oakridge, Westfield Valley Fair, and Plant Shopping Center. From designer stores to one-of-a-kind boutiques, you will find everything you need for your home and closet.
 

Things to Do

 
San Jose hits every mark when it comes to activities because there is always something for everyone. Known as the Shark Tank, SAP Center is home to the San Jose Sharks. Of course, you can enjoy hockey here, and the Shark Tank also hosts major concerts and other sporting events. Baseball fans can check out the San Jose Giants as well.

The Rose Garden district is a charming neighborhood known for its historic architecture. The 5.5-acre San Jose Municipal Rose Garden is the cornerstone of the community, featuring nearly 200 varieties of roses where you can enjoy a delightful stroll. If you enjoy paranormal intrigue, the Winchester Mystery House is a historical landmark museum featuring a staircase to nowhere and other delightfully odd features designed to confuse ghosts.

For arts and culture, the San Jose Museum of Art has revolving art exhibitions, while The Tech Interactive features accessible, hands-on exhibits and an IMAX theater for all ages to enjoy. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy Almaden Quicksilver Country Park for its hiking, biking, and equestrian trails. If it is an adrenaline rush you seek, Knotts Berry Farm is a classic amusement park where you can enjoy thrill rides. On a hot day, head over to Raging Waters, an aquatic park where you can stay cool and have fun at the same time.
