Cherrywood offers suburban living with sought-after schools
Cherrywood is a small suburban enclave in the greater Berryessa area of San Jose, known for highly rated schools and relatively lower housing costs compared to other parts of Silicon Valley. “Prices out of Cupertino can go up to $6 million or $7 million. Here, we still have the top-ranked schools with the affordability of $2 million homes,” says Tabatha Luiza, a longtime Berryessa resident and local Realtor with Keller Williams Silicon Valley. Those who still commute to the major Silicon Valley employers also benefit from direct access to Valley Transportation Authority light rail and Interstate 680.
Cherrywood commuters catch convenient connections on the Orange Line light rail.
Sidewalks and bike lanes make getting around Cherrywood easy and safe.

Midcentury ranch-style homes with some newer townhouses and condos
Single-family homes, mostly dating to the 1960s and ‘70s, include single-story ranch-style homes and midcentury modern properties. Homes sit close together and don't have large yards, but there is usually enough space for a small plot of grass or a backyard pool. Some streets end on cul-de-sacs, and most homes have a driveway for off-street parking. Properties typically range from $1.1 million to $2 million, though turnover is generally low. As Berryessa has grown, thanks in large part to the sought-after schools and relative affordability, more higher-density housing options like townhouses and condos have been developed into the 21st century. Townhouses with three or four bedrooms usually range from $1.3 million to $1.4 million, while two- and three-bedroom condos can range from $600,000 to $1 million.

Many highly rated schools are in the area, including Ruskin Elementary School, Sierramont Middle School and Independence High School, all of which contribute a lot to the Berryessa community and earn an A-minus rating from Niche. “Everyone here is very community oriented,” Luiza says. “When they say it takes a village, there’s always that next person who helps with the football team who will pick up your kid if you need. We still have the tight-knit values of taking care of each other.” Sierramont Middle offers after-school activities such as cross-country, puzzle club and the Youth Act community service group. Independence High includes the Space Technology Engineering Academy Magnet program, which allows students to take career technical electives for college credit and join after-school robotics programs. The school also has popular athletic programs like football, basketball and volleyball.
