Neighborhood

Our neighborhood sits in a quiet residential pocket just southwest of downtown San Jose. The area blends Silicon Valley convenience with local charm; tree-lined streets, longtime taquerias and neighborhood cafes, and a slower pace than the downtown core. About a 10-minute walk reaches Bestor Art Park and the SoFA arts district, with the Guadalupe River Trail nearby for a morning run or bike ride. A short drive (5 to 15 minutes) reaches downtown San Jose, San Pedro Square Market, SAP Center, the Convention Center, SJSU, Kelley Park, and the Japanese Friendship Garden. For travel further out, Diridon Station serves Caltrain, Amtrak, ACE, and VTA Light Rail, and SJC airport is about 10 minutes away.
