Why Ashbridge appeals to families and homebuyers

Tucked in the Evergreen foothills of San Jose, Ashbridge is a small, established neighborhood offering suburban living and a family-oriented lifestyle. Homebuyers are drawn to the area’s spacious late 20th-century homes and highly rated schools in the Evergreen and East Side Union High school districts. Another perk of the community is its quick access to Highway 101, a major commuter corridor connecting Ashbridge to the rest of San Jose. Residents also have many local parks to explore, as well as accessible commercial options along East Capitol Expressway.

What home styles and prices to expect in this community

The neighborhood mainly has single-family homes from the late 1970s and 1990s. Contemporary and ranch-style designs appear throughout the community, but Spanish Revivals are also around. Many homes have been updated over the years with renovated kitchens, modern bathrooms and newer finishes. Homes don’t often go up for sale, but the area’s median sale price is around $1.4 million. Recently, home prices have ranged between $1.2 million and $2.5 million.

Families are drawn to the area’s highly rated East San Jose schools

“There are tons of families in the area. It’s not the kind of place you find a lot of single people living alone,” says Realtor Kimberly Leal with Keller Williams Realty Silicon Valley. Students attend schools in the Evergreen and East Side Union High school districts. Most kids start at John J. Montgomery Elementary and Chaboya Middle School before moving on to the highly rated Silver Creek High School. The school offers career technical education pathways in financial services and construction.
