Roosevelt Park offers access to highways, schools and the city center
Roosevelt Park is a centrally located, mixed-use neighborhood just 2 miles from Downtown San Jose. The area is known for its convenient access to Highway 101 and East Santa Clara Street, which connect commuters to major job centers and destinations around San Jose and the Silicon Valley. Residents are also close to neighborhood schools, parks, local dining and public transit options. Residential roads blend high-density housing with older single-family homes, offering a variety of choices to renters and buyers.
Older homes, condos and apartments shape residential streets
The neighborhood’s residential areas offer a range of housing types, from single-family homes to clustered condo communities and apartment complexes. Many single-family homes are from the early to mid-1900s and have traditional Craftsman, bungalow or ranch-style architecture. Occasionally you’ll see a classic Spanish Revival in the mix. “Roosevelt Park has beautiful old homes,” says Realtor Michelle Elliott with Coldwell Banker Realty. Condos in the area tend to have less distinct exterior architecture, but often feature contemporary interiors.
Over 70% of residents are renters, but buyers are still attracted to the area. Condos usually sell between the upper $300,000s and the mid-$600,000s, while single-family homes usually start around the mid-$900,000s and cost up to $1.2 million.
Bungalows are common throughout the neighborhood.
Front yards are small but private.

People can walk or bike to many local destinations
Many people get around by car, but you can also reach several everyday destinations without driving. It’s moderately easy to walk or bike to:
Public, private and charter schools inside the neighborhood
Restaurants and businesses along East Santa Clara and East Julian streets
Recreation areas like Roosevelt Park, Roosevelt Community Center and Watson Park
Major city hubs like downtown San Jose, about 2 miles west
Students can walk or bike to San Jose High School, which is inside the neighborhood.
Public, private and charter school options are in the neighborhood
The neighborhood is part of the San Jose Unified School District, which zones students by address. Families can also apply to magnet and specialty programs at other schools or request intradistrict transfers. If students stay within their assigned zoning, they’ll likely attend highly rated San Jose High School, which offers International Baccalaureate and Project Lead the Way programs. Roosevelt Park is also home to several charter and private schools, including Sunrise Middle School, Rocketship Discovery Prep, ACE Inspire Academy and Cristo Rey San José Jesuit High School.
Parks and community spaces support an active, social lifestyle
As the community’s namesake park, Roosevelt Park is the local hub for recreation. It has many athletic facilities, including baseball diamonds, handball courts and a roller hockey rink. Kids can run around the playground together while skaters practice their skills at the skatepark. Nearby, the Roosevelt Community Center offers an indoor fitness center, a computer lab, and classrooms for community programs and summer camps.
The skate park in Roosevelt Park offers many different ramps for skaters to practice on.

Major roads are busy, but residential streets are calmer
While roads surrounding the neighborhood can bring excess noise and traffic, industrial areas along Highway 101 help separate homes from some of the activity. Main streets, like East Julian and East Santa Clara, sandwich the neighborhood’s residential pockets, but homes are still “sheltered from a lot of the traffic because they’ve put up a bunch of different road calming accommodations,” Elliott says. “People have to go around the neighborhood unless you live there.”
