Walkable community in a central location
Situated 2 miles from Saratoga and 3 miles from Campbell, suburban Bucknall is known for its highly rated schools and walkable streets. “It's relatively close to the main employers in the Bay Area,” says Ayelet Gingold, who’s sold homes in the area for 21 years and is a founding partner of Agam Real Estate, a partner at Side, Inc. “You get more for your money than in nearby neighborhoods like Saratoga. It has a combination of good schools, affordability and location.” Residents here can walk to the Westgate Center shopping mall, and Silicon Valley’s biggest employers are an easy commute up the Lawrence Expressway. The overall CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4; violent crime receives a score of 1 out of 10.

Remodeled midcentury ranch-style homes
Midcentury ranch-style homes and 21st-century New Traditional homes with Mediterranean influences sit close together along Bucknall’s walkable streets. “Bucknall’s getting a lot of investment,” says Ashwin Veeravalli, a real estate agent with The Agency who’s sold homes in the area for 13 years. “A lot of people are investing to expand and remodel the homes. You can find large brand-new construction and big remodels. It’s a good mix of properties, and you can see the 1960s and ‘70s homes are being taken care of and upgraded.” The lots here are large enough for additions or accessory dwelling units. “It’s popular for people who have backyards to add another unit as a rental or for their adult kids to live in,” Gingold says. “A lot of people that move here in recent years improve the old properties.”
In May 2024, the median home price was $2 million, 22% higher than San Jose’s median of $1.6 million. A three-bedroom midcentury ranch-style home in original condition can start at $1.6 million, while an updated three-bedroom ranch-style can cost $3.1 million.
