Coyote combines a country feel with city conveniences close by

At the heart of the verdant Coyote Valley, among fields of fruit and nursery crops, Coyote is a quiet mountainside community on the fringes of Morgan Hill and San Jose. Morgan Hill’s diverse businesses provide plenty of nearby shopping and dining opportunities, while San Jose offers a wide range of employment opportunities. Residents have quick access to both cities while enjoying a relatively rural lifestyle. The lots in Coyote are slightly larger than those in surrounding communities, offering ample space to grow crops or keep a few animals. Locals also enjoy mountain views from their homes, rarely obstructed by tall trees or buildings. Additionally, Coyote provides quick access to trails, lakes and public parks.

Back roads wind through agricultural fields and custom estates

Coyote is less developed than its San Jose and Morgan Hill neighbors. Homes are more spread out on sizable lots, often measuring at least an acre; many of the lots are estate-style, with space for equestrian or sports facilities. The community’s back roads are sunbaked and relatively narrow, cutting around wide-open agricultural fields. The neighborhood features a couple of small housing developments with diverse architectural styles. There’s a decent number of ranch-style and colonial homes with Mediterranean influences, but several homes are entirely custom-built. Manufactured homes in the area have sold for between $100,000 and $450,000. Custom homes on some land typically sell for over $1 million, but a few townhomes and early 20th-century single-family homes have sold for between $700,000 and $925,000.

Ann Sobrato High offers clubs from STEM to baking and gaming

The Morgan Hill Unified School District scores an overall B-plus on Niche and serves just under 8,000 students. P.A. Walsh STEAM Academy, the local elementary school, receives a C-plus.

Niche gives the school an A-plus.

Most shopping and dining options are in nearby Morgan Hill

Coyote is home to a few small businesses, but residents often head into Morgan Hill to shop or grab dinner. Several shopping centers are near the corner of Cochrane Road and U.S. Route 101. Cochrane Plaza features a couple of big-box stores, such as Walmart Supercenter and Hobby Lobby, along with a few locally owned eateries, including Tandoori Flames and Tortilla House. Target and Dick’s Sporting Goods are available in a shopping center near Cochrane Plaza, along with popular chain restaurants like Chili’s and MOD Pizza. Downtown Morgan Hill, about 5 miles from the heart of Coyote, has several additional spots to shop or dine, many of which are locally owned. Among the walkable downtown are vegan spots like Craft Roots and steak houses like Willard Hicks. There are also a couple of art galleries, coffee shops and boutiques.

Nearby parks and trails encourage residents to get outside

Coyote’s location, between mountains and near lakes, encourages an outdoorsy lifestyle. Coyote Creek Trail cuts through the heart of the community, connecting cyclists, hikers and casual strollers with central San Jose and much of the region’s natural amenities. The trail weaves through and around several parks, including Metcalf Park, about 6 miles away from Coyote. Anderson Lake County Park, about 6 miles from central Coyote, spans over 4,000 acres. Park visitors enjoy horseback riding, boating, picnics and scenic bike rides, with plenty of paved and unpaved paths available. Just outside of Coyote, Santa Teresa County Park offers additional space for locals to enjoy the outdoors. The park covers over 1,600 acres and features several scenic overlooks connected by an easily navigable network of trails. Visitors enjoy views of the Santa Clara and Almaden Valleys. Coyote is also home to the Coyote Creek Golf Club, which has public tee times and membership options. Traditional parks, with playgrounds and sports facilities, are in Morgan Hill, including Morgan Hill Community Park.

San Jose is about 18 miles away with airport access 21 miles out

Residents typically use cars to get around, but the Valley Transportation Authority operates buses that shuttle across the area. San Jose is about 18 miles away, and buses can typically take commuters from Coyote into the city and much of Silicon Valley. U.S. Route 101 is the community’s primary thoroughfare, but Monterey Highway runs parallel, offering another commute option. San Jose Medical Center is one of the nearest medical facilities, located about 8 miles away. San Jose Mineta International Airport is about 21 miles away.
