A balance of small and big
Just about 2 miles west of Downtown San Jose sits Burbank, a neighborhood providing an often unattainable balance of competitive home prices and proximity to the city’s best amenities. “Burbank is super convenient if you’re into shopping and entertainment. It’s close to the malls and downtown," says local property manager Brenda Styles. "It’s more affordable too. The houses are pretty modest, but you get a lot of San Jose for your buck.”

Puebla's and other small homes
The densely lined residential streets of Burbank are filled with mostly smaller-to-modest home sizes. Dense lawns, often wrapped with picket fences, run along tight sidewalks shaded under long rows of tall palm trees, taking passers-through along a tour of cutesy Craftsmans, bungalows and ranch-styles. While the average square footage of these remains consistently smaller, their designs are less consistent, with a selection of designs ranging from midcentury, to minimal traditional to even an occasional Spanish Puebla. The median price for homes in Burbank falls around $1.2 million, but most sell for between $875,000 and $1.6 million. “It might not be the first place you think of when coming to San Jose, but some of the houses are really nice, and you’re close to some great parts of the city,” says Styles.

Walking to smell the roses
There are no public parks in the neighborhood, but there are several close by. Burbank sits within walking distance of the Municipal Rose Garden, a wonderful patch of green perfect for getting a break from the city surroundings and breathing in the fresh air. Nearly 200 varieties of roses populate this lush garden park, with an ornate fountain in the middle providing a serene space for a dose of nature. Even closer to the neighborhood, along Scott Street is Buena Vista Park, where local children go to climb an ultra-modern playground.
