Quiet neighborhood in San Jose's Evergreen Valley
Chaboya is a modern residential suburb in the Evergreen Valley district outside of San Jose’s city limits. The Diablo Range foothills border the neighborhood, offering miles of outdoor recreation and overlooks with unobstructed views of the city. Downtown San Jose is about 11 miles away, but the distance from urban centers isn’t always a deterrent for residents. “Personally, I don’t care that it’s a longer commute to work every day, because when I drive home, I’m driving home to paradise,” says Aliya Mody, a longtime Evergreen Valley resident and a Realtor with Intero Real Estate on the Eddie Oberoi Team. In Chaboya, homes sit on private, quiet streets and cul-de-sacs and are within walking distance of a local elementary and middle school. Students here are zoned for the Evergreen Elementary School District and the East Side Union High School District; the East Side district was named one of California's top 100 school systems on Niche’s 2025 rankings. Chaboya has an overall CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10, lower than the national figure of 4.

Modern Spanish Revivals sell quickly
Flanked by cypress trees and palm bushes, two-story Spanish Revivals are Chaboya's most common housing style. Most properties here – along with the rest of the Evergreen district – were built in the late 1990s and have features like clay tile roofs and beige stucco facades complimenting the neighborhood’s sidewalk-lined streets. Paved driveways and attached garages are common, although street parking is also available. Single-family homes range from approximately $1.7 million to $3.1 million, while townhomes and condo units in the neighborhood’s Jasmine Heights community cost between $950,000 and $1.3 million. “The home prices draw a large number of buyers here because it’s relatively affordable compared to other places with desirable school districts like Cupertino or Los Gatos,” Mody says. Home listings in Chaboya last an average of 13 days on the market, compared to the national average of 44 days.
Chaboya homes are perfect for families seeking space and style.

Local restaurants just outside Chaboya
