Relaxed suburb with highly rated schools
Located 4 miles from downtown San Jose, suburban Commodore is known for its highly rated schools and neighborhood parks, including the Chinese Cultural Garden in Overfelt Gardens and the walking trails in Penitencia Creek County Park. “This is a great area for families just starting out,” says Becky Trovato, a Realtor with Intero Real Estate Services who’s sold homes in the area for seven years and lived here for over 50 years. “It’s a little more affordable for some people to get into this tight housing market.” With its proximity to major highways and the new Bay Area Rapid Transit’s (BART) Berryessa/North San Jose station, Commodore’s residents can enjoy a slower pace of life within a short commute of Silicon Valley’s employers and entertainment centers.

Cul-de-sacs of 20th-century bungalows
The distant Los Buellis Hills are visible from Commodore’s suburban streets, where it’s common to see neighbors walking their dogs past manicured lawns and paved driveways. Late 20th-century bungalows and Mediterranean-style homes sit close together along cul-de-sacs. Early 21st-century townhouse communities are common near Interstate 680 and in Commodore’s center.
In April 2024, the median single-family home price here was $1.3 million, 14% less than San Jose’s median. “This market is very hot right now,” Trovato says. “Hot homes can be on the market for seven to 11 days and usually sell over the asking price.” A midcentury three-bedroom bungalow can start at $1 million, while a 1978 Mediterranean-style four-bedroom can cost up to $2 million. Townhouses range in price from $688,000 for a two-bed to 1.3 million for a four-bed.

Walk to the San Jose Flea Market
Each weekend, the 120-acre San Jose Flea Market has hundreds of vendors selling local produce and discounted goods; there’s also live music and a kids’ area with a mini-Ferris wheel and carousel. For dinner, residents might head to Claw Shack, a seafood restaurant serving Cajun favorites like jambalaya and shrimp gumbo. Family-owned King Eggroll serves Chinese cuisine including chow mein and, of course, egg rolls. Residents can shop at the nearby Marshalls and Target, and grocery options include Grocery Outlet and Safeway. The city is planning to build the Berryessa BART Urban Village near the Berryessa/North San Jose BART station; the plan is for a high-density, mixed-use development that will provide jobs, housing and new retail options.

Flooding near Coyote and Penitencia Creeks
Flooding is possible along Coyote Creek and Penitencia Creek; the city plans to build flood walls along the creek and near the BART station to reduce risk. While Commodore is at low risk for wildfires, the Santa Cruz Mountains to the south and the Diablo Range to the east are at high risk. Though property damage from wildfires is unlikely, residents might see ash and smoke. The last major wildfire was in 2020 when almost 400,000 acres burned in the Diablo Range over 46 days.
