Branham-Kirk has a convenient location with great schools
Branham-Kirk, a small suburban community in West San Jose, is a walkable enclave close to grocery stores, a large neighborhood park and the well-rated Branham High School. “That area has excellent schools and proximity to freeways,” says Sylvia Pollifrone, a local Realtor at Keller Williams Bay Area Estates with over 45 years of experience. “You can walk to the store in less than 5 minutes, and the schools aren’t far at all. It’s a beautiful location.” In addition to neighborhood conveniences, locals have direct highway access for fast commutes and easy access to the rest of the Bay Area.
Detached homes on the north side, townhouses and condos on the south
Branham-Kirk’s north side has single-family homes from the latter half of the 20th century. Ranch-style and New Traditional properties are the most common, often featuring narrow front yards sparsely dotted with trees. Single-story properties can be desirable for certain buyers, depending on their needs. “In Santa Clara County, we have a lot of people who have families living with them,” Pollifrone says. “This area has homes with downstairs bedrooms, which opens it up to a lot of people who are living with a parent, so they don’t have to go up and down the stairs.” These properties range in price from $1.7 million to $2.5 million, depending on size and condition. The neighborhood’s south side is mostly condos, townhouses and apartments. Townhouses, mostly dating to the late 20th and early 21st centuries, range from $780,000 to $1 million, while low-rise condos from the 1980s range from $640,000 to $700,000.
