Historic neighborhood south of The Alameda
Developed in the early 20th century on the former Santa Clara County fairgrounds, Shasta Hanchett Park is known for its diverse architecture, tree-lined streets and central location. “It’s charming and quaint,” says Andy Sweat, a Realtor with Keller Williams Bay Area Estates and a lifelong Bay Area resident. “These are not cookie-cutter houses; these are unique, character-rich homes.”
Shasta Hanchett Park is situated in San Jose’s Rose Garden district 2 miles west of downtown. Residents here are within walking distance to The Alameda, a former stagecoach road that is now home to local dining and shopping. The Municipal Rose Garden, a free park with over 3,500 rose bushes, is close by. There are also many houses of worship in multiple faiths, including the Shri Krishna Vrundavana Temple, St. Leo the Great Catholic Church and Westminster Presbyterian Church.

Spanish Revival and Craftsman homes on tree-lined streets
“There’s a great diversity of architecture: Spanish-style homes, a lot of Craftsmans, Prairie-style homes, even Victorians,” Sweat says. “There isn’t one distinct style that’s dominant. It’s a whole hodgepodge of all that good stuff.” Most homes were built in the 1920s, and the neighborhood shows its age in the mature palm and London plane trees that line the wide streets. Spacious homes can be found close to the Alameda, where yards are large enough for a horseshoe driveway and several mature trees; bungalows are more common to the south, with front yards large enough for a single-car driveway and ornamental tree.
In April 2024, the median price for a single-family home was $1.8 million, more than four times the national median and 16% higher than San Jose’s overall median. Single-family home prices here range from $1.2 million for a two-bedroom Spanish Revival bungalow to $3.2 million for a four-bedroom Queen Anne-inspired New Traditional built in 2009. Townhouses are available to the south and start at $975,000 for a two-bedroom. Shasta Hanchett Park is in a Historic Conservation Area; homeowners here must seek out special permits for any big construction projects.

Stop and smell the roses at the Municipal Rose Garden
The fragrance of over 3,500 roses at the 5-acre Municipal Rose Garden wafts through Shasta Hanchett Park from April through November. Kids can burn off some energy at the centrally located Hester Park, a pocket park with a playground and soccer field. The 254-acre Guadalupe River Park and Gardens, a short drive or bike ride north, has over 2 miles of paved trails, an art walk and an inclusive playground with slides and climbing walls. At the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, residents can take classes in ancient Egyptian history, and kids can join the Junior Archaeologist program.
