"Crossgate has some very desirable public and private schools," says Realtor Brad Gill, owner of NextHome Lifestyles and a longtime Almaden Valley resident. The San Jose Unified School District serves the area, and students start at the highly rated Los Alamitos Elementary School. Many kids can walk or bike to school. High schoolers attend the highly rated Leland High School, known for its nationally recognized speech and debate program and robotics teams. Nearby private options include Holy Spirit School and Almaden Country Day School, two prekindergarten through eighth grade schools.
The neighborhood has quick access to many hilly parks and trail systems nearby. Guadalupe Oak Grove Park offers around 60 acres of savanna and woodland to hike through, while spots like Almaden Meadows Park have traditional amenities, like a playground and picnic areas. "You get a nice little view of the valley from Almaden Meadows Park," Gill says. For a more rugged adventure, Almaden Quicksilver County Park has over 30 miles of trails through the Santa Cruz foothills. "The whole area is great for outdoor enthusiasts," Gill says. "Hiking and mountain biking are huge out here. Even horseback riding."
In the heart of the neighborhood, you'll find the Crossgates Swim Club, the area's private recreation center. "Crossgates Swim Club and the swim team are a big part of the community," Gill says. "It brings all the families together in the summertime. It's a great way to get involved." Kids play together in the kiddie pool while people swim laps or lie out to tan. The club also has a basketball court and a reservable event space.
