Guadalupe Oak Ranch sits next to a hillside park in scenic Almaden Valley

Guadalupe Oak Ranch’s residential streets curve around the base of a sprawling hillside park –– a scenic perch that offers a glimpse of the area’s natural beauty. Located in Almaden Valley, the community is known for its spacious homes, highly rated schools and easy access to the picturesque Santa Cruz Mountains. “Almaden Valley is where the rolling hills and countryside meet suburbia. It’s got great schools, lots of parks. People who like the outdoors really gravitate here,” says Realtor Brad Gill, owner of NextHome Lifestyles and a longtime south San Jose resident.
