Prices are below the San Jose average and can fall between $750,000 and $1 million. “Most residents work more than one job to pay bills,” Webb says. Sidewalks and palm trees line the roads, and cars are parked along the street, even with driveways and two-car garages that most houses have. Bushes and gardens add personality to the grassy lawns in the neighborhood, many of which are fenced in.Welch Park Community Center offers youth engagement programs

The Reid-Hillview County Airport is at the top of the neighborhood and is scheduled to close by 2031. “The airport is not used much,” Webb says. “Only really small planes are allowed.” Still, some residents are trying to close the airport down now because of the continued use of lead fuel by some pilots. In 2021, the Santa Clara County Office of Education evaluated the lead levels of children under six years old – Overfelt residents had a lead test positivity rate of 2.50% or more. The report listed Reid-Hillview as a significant source of airborne lead in the Santa Clara Valley. While Overfelt’s rate of motor vehicle theft is somewhat high, with a CAP Index score of six out of 10, the neighborhood’s overall crime score is four, which is on par with the national average.
