San Jose CA has grown up in recent years, (now the 10th largest city in the United States) but one great attribute of its small town past remains. You can always find a parking place. Fabulous hotels, fascinating restaurants, boutique wine shops, and a community centric vision all contribute to this sophisticated yet charming metropolitan area.
As the nation’s top high-tech growth center, San Jose CA ranks seventh in the nation in manufacturing employment. With an ethnically diverse workforce (46 languages are represented) and many neighborhoods of unique cultural identity (including popular Japantown), the city has a thriving economy and ranks second as a national leader in exports.
Why the Listing Look & Silicon Valley Realtor Kelsey Lane loves San Jose CA & recommends San Jose CA homes:
- The home of Santana Row (restaurants, nightlife, shopping, farmers market, live music/courtyard plaza & fountain)
- It’s no surprise that we also love Valley Fair Mall, which is across the street from Santana Row. That general Santana Row area is our second home and we highly recommend considering Santana Row real estate and Santana Row condos or looking at San Jose CA homes, Campbell CA properties, or Santa Clara CA property which would all be nearby Santana Row.
- San Jose CA is actually more populous than San Francisco CA. Downtown is home to myriad ethnic restaurants and active nightlife. More typical but nice suburban areas for San Jose CA homes would include West San Jose CA, Cambrian, Blossom Valley, and more.
- San Jose CA is considered to be the heartbeat of Silicon Valley – and we are truly proud to be a part of the valley, which is the nation’s pulse for high tech pursuits as well as notorious for interesting real estate.
