West San Jose’s shopping hub
Retail options surround sunny Fruitdale, a West San Jose suburb set 5 miles from downtown. Longstanding local businesses line South Bascom Avenue in the neighborhood’s center, while the upscale Westfield Valley Fair and Santana Row shopping malls are to the northwest, with over 200 national retailers; the shops of historic downtown Campbell are 3 miles away. Interstate 280 on Fruitdale’s northern edge makes for an easy commute to the rest of Silicon Valley.
Fruitdale’s location and nearby amenities have made it a popular option for homebuyers. “Fruitdale has changed rapidly due to the tech industry,” says Julio Orozco, a Realtor with Intero Real Estate Services, Inc. who’s sold homes here since 2011. “Tech employees have been buying up many of these properties and either tearing them down and building brand new ones or expanding them.” San José City College and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, a level one trauma center, are in Fruitdale’s north. The neighborhood also has several Christian churches, including Crossroads Bible Church and Korean United Methodist Church of Santa Clara Valley.
