Hillview North
Single-story California homes in Hillview North
Homes are situated closely together, but many properties come with plots large enough for custom landscapes, front lawns and backyards. Single-story ranch styles and Craftsman bungalows are often surrounded by fences or barriers made of brick and wood. Some subdivisions also present uniform architecture and seclusion from the winding streets of the neighborhood. Three-to-four-bedroom homes tend to start around $700,000 and can climb past $1 million. With prices increasing in the area, Webb explains that “the neighborhood is improving. Homes are often purchased as owner occupied now, so the number of rentals is going down.” Sidewalks lined with palm trees are prominent in the neighborhood, though most residents travel by car. Driveways and garages are common, making street parking less difficult, as well.Sustenance, supplies and sweets on Story
Residents frequent the nearby shopping centers off Story Road, such as Plaza de San Jose and La Placita Tropicana, for most all essentials and dining needs. In this area, residents can find a Target and specialty grocers like the Mexican market, Cardenas, and Battambang Oriental Market, which centers around Asian cuisine. According to Webb, the “Mexican and Asian restaurants are great all around.” Mendoza’s Taquería is one of the many spots that provide a taste of the Hispanic heritage of the area, and Bowl K Poke & Roll can satisfy cravings for fresh fish and sushi. For dessert, Raspados Snow Cone serves shaved ice and authentic Mexican sweet treats.Hillview North’s parks and nearby attractions
Hillview North sits right by Emma Prusch Farm Park, which brings the neighborhood together through gardening and nature. The park is home to El Jardin Community Garden and the Veggielution Community Farm, where residents can grow their own produce while getting to know other locals. Visitors can also traverse the park’s immense grounds for a picnic or explore the orchards. Webb praises the neighborhood’s namesake, Hillview Park, as it hosts ample green space, a playground and the Hank Lopez Community Center, where residents can attend frequent events, such as litter pick-ups, summits and skill sessions. Locals can also visit Kelly Park, about 3 miles away, which features the Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, the Japanese Friendship Garden and the History San José museum.Hillview North served by two school districts
The schools within Hillview North fall in the Alum Rock Union School District and East Side Union High School District. Students may attend Sylvia Cassell Elementary, which scores a C on Niche, then the Renaissance Academy at Fischer, one of the highest rated middle school in the district, with a B-minus. Fischer also sits adjacent to the Hillview Branch Library. High schoolers can attend William C. Overfelt, which scores a B and holds multi-cultural assemblies in order to foster an inclusive, diverse environment.Getting around Hillview North
Story Road is the main street that cuts through Hillview North, though major routes, such as Interstate 680 and the 101, are also nearby. Public transportation is available via the Valley Transportation Authority, though most residents get around by car. For air travel, the San José Mineta International Airport is about 8 miles away. Hillview North locals are within 3 miles of health care at the Regional Medical Center.

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.
