Campbell has a small-town feel while staying close to tech jobs

Campbell, located on the outskirts of San Jose, houses a walkable downtown district with a vibrant shopping and dining scene. Historically, the land was filled with orchards and canneries, and the railroad, which ran through town, allowed farmers to transport their canned fruit around the country quickly. Today, many of the residents enjoy Campbell’s proximity to major technology employers, as well as its active calendar of events. Along neighborhood streets, palm and pistachio trees shade sidewalks from the California sun, and carefully maintained hedges line homes and driveways. With easy access to locally owned shops and a nearby theater and community center, Downtown Campbell is a good fit for homebuyers looking for a bustling small-town feel.
