Life near Santa Teresa County Park
Located on the northern edge of Coyote Valley in South San Jose, Avenida Espana is a small suburb known for its proximity to the 1,673-acre Santa Teresa County Park. "I’ve seen home values here skyrocket,” says Ryan Nunnally, a Realtor with Keller Williams Luxury International who’s sold homes in the area for 15 years. “People used to be hesitant to move this far south due to the commute. At first glance, some people think it’s hours of traffic, but it’s actually not that bad. The area’s become more attractive over the past few years with the option to work from home."
Santa Teresa County Park is visible from most homes in the neighborhood. “It’s a park that is very well known within the community that surrounds it,” says Ruben Suarez, a Senior Park Ranger with Santa Clara County Parks. “I’ve lived in San Jose my whole life and didn’t know about it until I became a park ranger.” The park provides lots of opportunities for residents to connect with nature and their neighbors, including guided hikes, archery lessons and interpretive programs.
Santa Teresa County Park is a great place to bring your family in the Los Paseos neighborhood.

Cul-de-sacs with foothill views
The grassy hills of Santa Teresa County Park rise over the rooflines of Avenida Espana’s 1970s ranch-style and split-level homes. Tree-lined streets ending in cul-de-sacs add to the park-like feel, with yards large enough for an ornamental tree, a tidy lawn and a paved driveway leading to a two- or three-car garage. Late 20th-century Mediterranean-style New Traditional homes and a low-rise apartment complex can be found in the neighborhood’s west. The median single-family home price is $1.5 million, lower than San Jose’s median of $1.6 million. A three-bedroom ranch can start at $963,000, while a five-bedroom split-level can cost $1.8 million. The overall CAP Index Crime Score is 3 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4; violent crime receives a score of 2 out of 10.
