Commodore offers planned communities, parks and easy commuting
Commodore is a large, mixed-use neighborhood in San Jose that blends residential living with business districts, green spaces and commuter corridors. Compared to older parts of the city, the area is largely made up of planned communities and single-family homes built from the 1950s to the 2010s. The neighborhood offers convenient access to major job centers, highways and public transit, and it’s home to the San Jose Flea Market, a major city landmark attracting thousands of visitors every weekend. Popular parks offer scenic spots to enjoy the outdoors, and ample retail options line main roads.
Planned subdivisions and newer housing define the neighborhood
Commodore has several large industrial and commercial areas, but the neighborhood is also very residential. It has many distinct subdivisions with single-family homes, townhouse communities, condominiums and apartment complexes. Some single-family homes date back to the mid-20th century, while the community’s newest townhouses are from the 2010s. “ONYX is the newest and largest of this area’s developments,” says Realtor Harry He with Keller Williams Thrive Cupertino. “It has about 400 townhouse units that are only 10 years old.”
Since the neighborhood has fewer historic homes and more planned developments than older parts of San Jose, there is less architectural variety. Common options include Spanish-style homes, two-story New Traditionals, ranch-style houses and contemporary construction.
The neighborhood has several newer townhouse communities.
Many older single-family homes are ranch-style houses.

Home prices and HOAs here appeal to first-time buyers
“This is a great area for families just starting out,” says Becky Trovato, Realtor with Intero Real Estate Services who has lived here for over 50 years, noting that it's a little less expensive than other areas. And buyers can get a lot of space for their buck. Realtor Harry He says, “A three-bedroom home here is very likely entry-level, even for first-time homebuyers."
Condos and townhouses usually range from the low $600,000s to about $1.4 million. Most are part of HOA-managed communities and are subject to monthly fees covering exterior maintenance, landscaping and shared amenities. Single-family homes typically sell in the $1 million to $2.1 million range, though some listings have sold in the mid-$700,000s to $900,000s.
Commuters have access to highways and major public transit
The neighborhood is well located for commuting. Highway 101 and Interstate 680 border the community, quickly connecting people to job centers in North San Jose, Downtown San Jose and the greater Silicon Valley. Drivers are also near Interstates 880 and 280, two other major corridors. The neighborhood also has quick access to city bus stops, VTA light rail stations on the other side of I-680, and the Berryessa/North San Jose BART station next to the San Jose Flea Market. The neighborhood is not particularly walkable, but many major roads have dedicated bike lanes.

Restaurants and retailers line the area’s busy corridors
Outside of San Jose Flea Market, Commodore is not considered a destination for shopping and dining. However, there are many commercial options along Berryessa and McKee Roads, including local restaurants, cafés, dessert shops, fast-food chains and grocery stores. Larger shopping centers and dining hubs are usually a short drive away, either in neighboring communities or in downtown San Jose.
Students have access to multiple school districts and choices
Most of Commodore is zoned for the highly rated Berryessa Union Elementary, Alum Rock Union Elementary and East Side Union High school districts. However, certain addresses closest to Highway 101 fall into the San Jose Unified School District. Even though students are zoned by address, the state's open enrollment programs offer limited intradistrict and interdistrict transfer options, depending on the district and program availability.
Some students attend Vinci Park Elementary School in the Berryessa Union School District.
Independence High School is a highly rated option in the East Side Union High School District.
