Cataldi is a North San Jose neighborhood surrounding a large park
Midcentury homes sit alongside a sprawling park in Cataldi. The neighborhood is in the heart of San Jose’s Berryessa district, located in the northeastern corner of the city, between downtown and the small city of Milpitas. It’s close to highly rated schools, plenty of community parks, a major highway and a BART train station. “It’s a good commuting location, it’s close to the hills and you have some decent schools. But the prevailing reason why people like it is the commute. You’ve got a lot of tech people living in that area,” says Realtor Sherri Stoneberger of Legacy Real Estate, who has worked in the area for nearly 30 years.

Santa Clara County’s sprawling hills, meadows and nature reserves are just a few miles away. “It’s a great spot for people who like the outdoors.

Midcentury homes that may appeal to first-time homebuyers
Cataldi’s homes were largely built in the late 1960s and ‘70s and feature an array of ranch-style and Traditional homes popular during the mid-20th century.

Mediterranean detailing is also apparent – some homes have the red-tiled rooftops and off-white stucco siding that’s ubiquitous in many California suburbs. Prices typically range from $1.5 million to $2.5 million. “It’s within range for first-time homebuyers. It’s not in the luxury realm,” Stoneberger says.
