Santana Row Part II: What Residents Like About The Row

It may sound cliché to love where you live, and live where you love, but residents at Santana Row recently chimed in on how this can become a reality. We didn’t think a mini-series on Santana Row would be complete without an inside look at those who live there.

Recently, “San Jose Mercury News” published an article about residents at Santana Row and why they love where they live. The article gave a sneak peak at the lifestyles of the people who dwell above the shops and restaurants that line the streets of Santana Row. Some are renting and some own and live in condos/townhomes.

We wanted to provide a summary of the article for our readers, about how people feel about living at The Row. For many residents the answer was simple, Santana Row is your very own, one-of-a-kind community with everything you could ever want or need right at your doorstep.

There are dozens of shops, restaurants, spas, a movie theater and most recently the Olin Avenue Market for basic and quick gourmet grocery shopping needs. This market was a welcome addition according to the residents. There is also a Safeway across the street, adjacent to Valley Fair Mall.

The only downside residents noted in the article was the traffic and getting in and out. (It can get pretty crazy at Santana Row, especially during the holidays.) They also noted that weekends tend to be more crowded, but that the atmosphere makes up for it.

Santana Row is located near highway 280, so commute access is close.

If you have any interest in living at Santana Row (San Jose CA), listings do come up for condos/townhomes for sale, and also — opening late this summer is a new residential building with 108 units.
