What living in Cataldi means for Bay Area commuters
Cataldi is a well-established neighborhood in the Berryessa area of northeast San Jose known for its easy Silicon Valley commute. Homebuyers are drawn to the area for its updated single-family homes near Interstate 680, light rail stations and the Milpitas BART station. Major employment hubs throughout San Jose and the Bay Area are only a short ride away from the neighborhood's convenient location. You're also minutes from popular neighborhood parks, dining options and everyday shopping. Local students attend highly rated schools, and nearby Berryessa offers plenty of events year-round.
What types of homes and prices are found in Cataldi
Single-family homes from the 1960s and 1970s line most streets. Ranch-style homes are the most common style available, but the community also has many New Traditional and Spanish Revival two-story houses. Many homes have been updated with remodeled kitchens and open layouts. Some properties include extensive renovations or less-common amenities, like wood-burning fireplaces and in-ground pools. Prices generally range from $1.2 million to $2.2 million. "It's within range for first-time homebuyers," says Realtor Sherri Stoneberger of Everhome Real Estate. "It's not in the luxury realm."
The community also has several condo and townhouse complexes clustered beside Northwood Square. These traditional or contemporary units usually range between the upper $700,000s and the mid-$800,000s, plus monthly HOA fees.
This modernized ranch-style home has neutral colors, solar panels and a drought-friendly design.
Some two-story homes combine New Traditional and Spanish Revival details.
