Brooktree offers good schools in the heart of Silicon Valley
Quiet suburban streets surround a public elementary school and park in Brooktree. Located in North San Jose’s Berryessa district, it’s a popular place for tech workers and families who want to live close to Silicon Valley companies, while also within reach of Downtown San Jose and Santa Clara County outdoor recreation. It benefits from a nearby BART train station and proximity to a major Bay Area highway. “A lot of young families are moving to this area. That’s partly because the schools are good, but also because it’s a quick drive to get to all the major tech companies,” says Thuy Tran, a broker associate at Intero Real Estate Services who has been working in real estate in the San Jose area for more than a decade.
