Located just 2 miles west of downtown San Jose, Burbank offers a rare balance of central location and relatively competitive home prices. You'll have quick access to popular shopping and dining destinations, as well as convenient public transit and major commuter routes.
Burbank is an urban neighborhood with densely packed single-family homes. Houses include smaller Craftsman bungalows, cottages and ranch-styles, and about 60% of residents rent homes. Home prices typically go from the low $900,000s to about $1.7 million. “If you are looking for a more affordable option in the heart of San Jose, Burbank is definitely the place to be,” says Alana George, Realtor at Intero Real Estate Services with over 10 years of experience. “Houses here are generally between 900 to 1,400 square feet, and you’ll find many less than 1,000 square feet.”
The median sale price for Burbank is around $1.2 million, much lower than nearby neighborhoods like Rose Garden and Santana Row. Burbank’s more affordable home prices often draw renters, first-time buyers and investors. “Some of the lots are pretty deep where you can build accessory dwelling units,” George says. “It’s definitely investor friendly and appeals to first-time homebuyers or for people who want to build up equity.”

Popular eateries include Mexican staples such as Dia de Pesca and TacoMania, as well as other international spots like Walia Ethiopian Cuisine. “The area definitely has a diverse food scene,” George says. “It’s also close to a lot of shops, restaurants and retail hubs like Santana Row and Westfield Valley Fair.” The expansive shopping centers lie along Stevens Creek Boulevard and offer tons of fashion and lifestyle boutiques, big-box and department stores, entertainment venues, food courts and restaurants.
