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.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
