What draws homebuyers to Quimby's hillside setting
In the Evergreen Valley of east San Jose, the Quimby neighborhood offers a scenic residential setting against a backdrop of golden hills. The views attract homebuyers to the area, but spacious homes, sought-after schools and expansive outdoor access convince people to stay. Local parks and the nearby foothills offer plenty to do in nature, from picnicking to hiking and horseback riding. Shopping, dining and event hubs are just a short drive away from the community, and commuters are well-connected to nearby Bay Area highways.
Quimby's competitive market has diverse home styles
Most of the neighborhood consists of single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s. Architectural styles vary widely. You might see a Spanish Revival or a Tudor-inspired house next to a New Traditional two-story home or a ranch-style house. Custom construction is also available. Many older properties have been updated with modern finishes, including open-concept layouts and high-end appliances. Some lots have premium amenities, like in-ground pools, private gardens or unobstructed mountain views. Home prices usually range from $1.4 million to $2.5 million. The market is competitive, with the average home selling after about 20 days, versus the national average of about 55 days.
The area's rolling landscape means lots sit at various elevations.
Ranch-style homes are a common sight in the community.

Groesbeck Hill Park and the foothills are the recreation hubs
Groesbeck Hill Park is the local go-to for recreation. Covering more than 25 acres, the park has everything from a playground and a variety of sports courts to a walking path leading to a scenic hilltop overlook. For a larger outdoor experience, the neighborhood is just 5 miles, or 15 minutes, from Joseph D. Grant County Park. "As you keep going up Quimby Road toward the park, the road gets steep and windy. It feels like you've escaped to another country," DeTar says. Joseph D. Grant County Park is the most expansive regional park in Santa Clara County, covering nearly 11,000 acres. Its hills, valleys and mountains hold miles of trails for hiking and horseback riding.
