Tranquil-living in the Silicon Valley

Located 6 miles South of downtown San Jose, the urban community of Doerr-Steindorf offers residents an escape from the bustling city with nearby greenspace at Doerr Park, boutiques and restaurants at Pruneyard Shopping Center, weekly farmers markets and friendly neighborhood hockey fanfare at the SAP Center. “There’s no shortage of parks or restaurants nearby, and the nightlife downtown is completely underrated,” says Spencer Hsu, Realtor with EXP Realty. Residents here take advantage of the quick 20-minute commute into downtown, the high-performing schools and the suburban-like atmosphere surrounded by the seemingly endless amount of urban amenities. Doerr-Steindorf is highly sought-after by prospective homebuyers for its at-ease lifestyle and accommodating surroundings where residents rarely have to leave the community for recreation or essentials.

Multi-family condos and single family New Traditionals

Doerr-Steindorf features a range of housing options from multi-family condos to single family New Traditionals, ranch styles and Mediterranean-inspired homes. With a median sales price of $1,500,000, price points range from the mid $600,000s to upwards of $3 Million depending on the age, size and location of the property. “Homes here are bigger than many areas throughout the Bay Area,” says Hsu, who has lived in San Jose his whole life. “The community attracts a range of professionals from those buying their first home to others looking for much larger properties.” For example, a two-bedroom condo with everyday essentials within walking distance costs around $660,000, while a five-bedroom New Traditional go for around $2,200,000. The majority of homes have stood for more than 50 years, but these properties have been meticulously maintained over the decades to maintain modernized living standards. Homes are typically fronted by ornate brick barriers and fences that wrap around smaller well-maintained lawns.

Local greenery and hockey games at the SAP Center

Residents here are within walking distance of the compact grassy areas found at Doerr Park, which features courts for both tennis and basketball. Locals here often enjoy pick-up games on the courts, explore new scenery on the paved paths and let their children climb on the jungle-gym. Or visit Los Gatos Creek County Park, which is known as a popular bird-watching spot within the region, for a glimpse at an American Dipper - America’s only aquatic songbird. The park also features tree-shaded walking trails and scenic waterfront views of Camden Pond. Hockey enthusiasts are in luck with the SAP Center, also known as ‘The Shark Tank,’ just 6 miles from the community, which features over 17,000 seats to cheer on the San Jose Sharks NHL hockey team. Aside from hockey games, the venue hosts a variety of events throughout the year from live music to family shows.
