Scenic Bay Area living
Tucked away at the base of the Diablo Mountain Range lies East Foothills, a neighborhood outside of San Jose whose sense of community is just as prevalent as the scenic beauty that surrounds it. The Diablo mountain range's gentle slopes rise above the neighborhood's hilly streets, providing picturesque views at every turn. Outdoor recreation is abundant, and while a sense of seclusion is certainly common, residents are never far from local shopping and hillside eateries. “It really is a special little pocket on the East Side of San Jose that most people don’t know about,” says Clint Moore, former resident and Realtor at Intero Real Estate Service. “There are wonderful homes, a wonderful community, and the amount of house you can get for the dollar is far better than some other neighborhoods in San Jose.”

Variety in housing over the years
East Foothills’s housing reflects the area's rich history and transformation into a desirable neighborhood in the Bay Area. “One hundred years ago, the neighborhood was up and coming, and a number of classic Spanish, Tudor, and Victorian-style homes were built,” Moore says. “As the popularity grew, there was an infill of smaller, mid-century houses leading to a real variety of architecture.” This variety can be found on windy, hilly streets with expansive views of the wide-open sky. Houses sit on large lots under the shade of California foliage, leading to a sense of privacy and seclusion from neighbors nearby. However, this seclusion is only physical in nature, as residents are very close-knit. “A lot of people just sort of know everybody; there’s a real feeling of community,” says Moore. The market is very competitive, and listings sell quickly. Prices for contemporary builds begin at $1 million, while larger, renovated homes with scenic views can top $4 million.

The San Jose Country Club
“The neighborhood is centered around the San Jose Country Club, the third oldest private golf club,” Moore says. The Club was established in 1849, and members have access to more than just golf – but the 18-hole course with sweeping views of the Bay Area and rolling hills remains the main attraction. Members can also head to the pool or play a round of bocce ball. Alum Rock Park offers more natural recreation with miles of hiking trails across 720 acres of the rugged Diablo Mountain Range.
