A slice of San Jose in the heart of Silicon Valley
This southeastern enclave of San Jose offers residents a small-town vibe right in the heart of Silicon Valley. While it’s out of the spotlight of downtown’s cultural touchstone, Hayes provides a place to call home that feels every bit like a piece of San Jose. Locals here can spend their time strolling along the scenic paved paths at Martial Cottle Park or playing pickleball at Edenvale Gardens Regional Park. Prospective buyers are attracted to the highly ranked school district and community-oriented feel maintained through nearby local eateries like High Five Pizza, the preserved historic landscape at the Hayes Mansion and annual events like the Fall Festival held at Martial Cottle Park. The community combines suburban-like living with nearby urban amenities and a quick 8-mile commute into downtown San Jose. “Talk about life-play balance — Hayes is very attractive with the beauty of the hills, walking trails and convenient shopping nearby,” says Samuel Spinella, local Realtor with Spinella Group.

New Traditionals and Mediterranean-inspired homes
Hayes features a range of housing options from single family Ranch-styles, New Traditionals and tile-roofed Mediterranean styles to multi-family townhouses. The streets of Hayes spread across a dense environment accented by lush plant life and towering palms along the wide paved sidewalks. While a few townhouses can be found in Hayes, most residences are single-family properties. Hayes offers a variety of subdivision options from manufactured communities like Rancho Santa Teresa Mobile Estates to townhouses in Eagle Rock At Frontier. Homeowners Associations are commonplace in this community but not universal. With a median sales price of $1,200,000, price points here can range from the low $200,000s for a two-bedroom manufactured home to upwards of $1,600,000 for a 5-bedroom tile-roofed Mediterranean-style. Homes here often feature wide driveways, two-car garages and are typically fronted by well-manicured yards with ornate fencing for added seclusion. “The community attracts young families and first-time home buyers into the area — however, you can also expect homes topping out at around $800,000 for a multi-family condo or townhouse to upwards of $1.5 Million for a single family home,” says Spinella.
