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
