Homes near Evergreen Valley Square

Located in Evergreen Valley, 8 miles southeast of downtown San Jose, Fowler is a neighborhood of established homes within a few blocks of some of the area’s best shopping and dining. “You’re two minutes from Evergreen Valley Square, which if you look at an aerial is actually a circle, but the people here are adamant about calling it ‘The Square,’” says Rebecca Jepsen of Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty, who has more than two decades of experience in the area. “The Square” is a mixed-use community gathering space where people can walk between cafes and eateries and relax on benches by a central fountain. “Life kind of revolves around the neat little coffee shops and restaurants that the square offers,” Jepsen says. “People are always gathering there.” Besides the shopping, Fowler is known for quiet streets, strong schools and access to nearby parks and trails.

Hiking at Joseph D. Grant Park

Many residents can walk to Montgomery Hill Park, an 8-acre green space with a 1.2-mile walking trail. Falls Creek Park is a small pocket park located in the neighborhood with a small playground and paved walking paths. The larger Fowler Creek Park has picnic areas and tennis courts. “It’s nice being up against the hills so there’s a lot of greenery, trails and open space that people take advantage of,” Jepsen says. Hikers check out the nearby Joseph D. Grant Park, located 7 miles up Quimby Road. The 10,000-acre park offers an extensive 51-mile trail system. Mountain biking is permitted on most of the park’s trails, and dogs are welcomed as long as they’re leashed.

Montgomery Hill Park is a great place to practice long distance running.
