Central, commuter-friendly San Jose neighborhood

Hyde Park is a residential San Jose neighborhood that flies under the radar despite being right in the middle of everything. “Not a lot of people know about it,” says Michelle Elliott, Coldwell Banker Realtor and longtime San Jose resident. It’s small; people think about it mostly as part of Japantown. The houses and trees are little older. It’s backed up to the freeway, but for whatever reason, the sound travels away from there; it’s sheltered from it. It’s the cutest little part of town.” Hyde Park is about 2 miles north of downtown San Jose and Japantown; it’s a short walk or drive to one of the city’s largest urban parks and it’s bordered by a major highway and a light rail line, making it a convenient spot for commuters. “You’re pretty close to North San Jose, which employs a lot of tech workers. Nvidia, Microsoft and Amazon all have offices there,” says Jeff Hansen, a broker with eXp Realty who has worked in real estate in the city for more than 30 years.

Spacious parks and Guadalupe River Trail are close to homes

A few blocks southwest, Columbus Park is an expansive park containing athletic fields and the paved Guadalupe River Trail, a biking path that runs parallel to the Guadalupe River. Columbus Park connects to the meticulously manicured Heritage Rose Garden. The park, currently listed as closed by the city of San Jose, served as an encampment for people experiencing homelessness. San Jose officials were in the process of clearing it out as of September 2024.

Raymond Bernal Jr. Memorial Park has a playground, a grassy picnicking area, a baseball diamond and plenty of large, shady trees. Golfers can tee up at San Jose Municipal Golf Course, a public, 18-hole facility about 2 miles north of the neighborhood.
