Planned condo community in southern San Jose

Ten miles south of Downtown San Jose is Makati, a residential suburb encompassing the master-planned Terrace Villas condo complex. This neighborhood benefits from proximity to nearby outdoor spaces like Ramac Park and Santa Teresa County Park; however, grassy lawns and abundant pine and oak trees help the community maintain a natural atmosphere of its own. “There are small pockets of places to walk your dog and places to sit and hang out; the community itself seems like a park,” says Richard Lo, a local real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty Cupertino. This neighborhood is zoned for the Oak Grove Elementary School District and the East Side Union High School District, which earn C-plus and A Niche scores, respectively. Residents are within walking distance of several big box retailers, like Target, and restaurants at the Orchard Town and Country shopping mall.

Condominiums built in the 1980s

Condominiums along Makati Circle and its offshoots are part of the Terrace Villas Homeowner Association, a planned community where neighbors can access a handful of resident-only amenities. “There’s a pool, community room and hot tub, but in general, it’s not a ton of amenities besides the standard – but they do have a security guard,” Lo says. “I think it’s the ambiance that’s the draw.” The Terrace Villas condominiums date back to the 1980s, and all units share a uniform contemporary housing style with features like earth-toned vinyl siding and concrete facades. The layout of the complex allows for little through traffic, so Makati’s streets and sidewalks see lots of pedestrian use. One- to two-bedroom condo units cost between $500,000 and $750,000, while three- and four-bedroom units can range from $700,000 to $1 million. Depending on the unit’s size and bedroom count, residents can expect to pay between $600 and $700 for monthly homeowner’s association fees.

Commuters in Makati have convenient access to Highway 85, which they can take to connect to Highway 87 traveling north into Downtown San Jose. The Valley Transportation Authority operates city bus services; residents can find numerous bus stops bordering the neighborhood along Cottle Road and Blossom Hill Road. The Blossom Hill station is only a few blocks from the neighborhood; here, people can catch Caltrain’s L3 and L4 lines, which run from the Bay Area down to Gilroy. Less than a mile south of Makati is the Cottle Light Rail Station, which operates on the Blue Line connecting to the downtown area. “People are either commuting into San Jose or Santa Clara, and some go to San Francisco,” Lo says. Twelve miles north is the San Jose Mineta International Airport. With Kaiser Permanente San Jose Medical Center less than a mile away, residents can reach medical care and 24-hour emergency services within minutes. “Driving, you can get there in three to five minutes. It’s only two lights,” Lo says.
