Diverse community in San Jose's east side
Resting between rugged foothills and downtown San Jose, Alum Rock is a community for those who want to experience a mixture of city and suburban living as well as multiple cultures. Now that the formerly independent town has been incorporated into greater San Jose, Alum Rock is part of the largest city in Silicon Valley. “It’s a more affordable area with nice views of the hills and diverse food options,” says Jeff Hansen, 4th generation Northern Californian and Broker Associate at eXp Realty of California Inc. with 17 years of experience. Alum Rock is filled with local Hispanic restaurants that strengthen the community's identity, and it is adjacent to Little Portugal and Little Saigon. Additionally, “Alum Rock is convenient to Highway 680 and there are no real environmental problems,” Hansen says.
