North Valley offers commuting routes, green space and city proximity
Situated about 5 miles from downtown San Jose, North Valley is a small neighborhood that offers several types of housing styles, proximity to daily amenities and plenty of outdoor recreation. The community is positioned within three major highways, and it's home to many commuters who work throughout the Silicon Valley. “Jobs are a big draw to move to the Bay Area in general, between some of the biggest tech companies in the world and institutions like Stanford,” says Colin Clancy, a Realtor with Keller Williams Bay Area Estates. He’s been assisting homebuyers in the area for over 20 years. “North Valley is south of Palo Alto, which is considered the heart of high property value, so you can find more affordable options, comparatively.”
North Valley is characterized by charming homes and a close-knit community.
North Valley features homes, parks, and easy access to Silicon Valley amenities.
