Established Evergreen Valley community

In the up-and-coming Evergreen Valley district of eastern San Jose, Ashbridge is a well-established residential community where residents live in single-family homes and have easy access to highways. This neighborhood is about 7.5 miles from downtown San Jose and 17 miles from Silicon Valley tech hubs like Mountain View and Los Altos. “This area is a little bit more remote, a little more removed from downtown,” says Kimberly Leal, a local Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Silicon Valley who has more than 20 years of experience selling homes. “There are tons of families in the area – it’s not the kind of place you find a lot of single people living alone.” Students in this neighborhood are zoned for the highly rated Evergreen School District, which is a big draw for families. Ashbridge has an overall CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, which is lower than the national score of 4.

Relatively affordable single-family homes

With a desirable location and relatively affordable prices, listed homes in Ashbridge only spend an average of three days on the market before they’re sold, compared to the national national average of 44 days. Most homes are midcentury Spanish-influenced and traditional bungalows and ranch-style dwellings costing between $1.3 million and $1.8 million. In the northeastern corner of the neighborhood is a pocket of two-story Spanish Revivals and Mediterranean homes built in the 1990s, ranging from $2.1 million to $3.1 million. Overall, the average cost of a single-family home in this area rests below the greater San Jose metropolitan area average, partially because of Ashbridge’s more removed location from Silicon Valley and the downtown hub: “Homes closer to the technology companies will continue to keep housing costs high,” Leal says.

Proximity to Silver Creek Linear Park

Directly across the street from Ashbridge is Silver Creek Linear Park, a nearly 54-acre outdoor space with playgrounds, sporting facilities and a walking trail connecting to the park’s Meadows Picnic Area. Athletic facilities include a basketball court, unlighted tennis courts and outdoor exercise equipment. Golf enthusiasts in this neighborhood are in luck; several state-of-the-art courses and golfing facilities are located only a few miles south. “Around this area, you’ll find a lot of golf clubs – people here really like to golf, partially because the weather is so great and courses are open year-round,” Leal says. The two closest golf clubs are the Silver Creek Valley Country Club and the Village Golf & Country Club, both of which require memberships.
