Single-family homes off Highway 85
Anderson East is a serene suburb of single-family homes in the Blossom Valley area of South San Jose. “It’s a great place for first-time homebuyers,” says Ashwin Veeravalli, a real estate agent with The Agency who’s sold homes in the area for 13 years. “It’s right down Highway 85, so depending on traffic, it’s a 30- to 50-minute commute to Sunnyvale. It’s also convenient to IBM.” The overall CAP Index Crime Score is 3 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4. While residents may experience traffic noise from state Route 85 and Blossom Hill Road, they benefit from being a short drive from Blossom Valley’s stores and restaurants.

Character-rich ranch-style homes

Buyers can also find split levels and Cape Cods.
