Ranch-style homes with neat landscaping and shaded sidewalks
Shawnee primarily consists of single-family homes. American sweet gums and occasional Italian cypress trees fill the horizon and provide pockets of shade. “Because the weather here is so nice, people are always out walking,” Johnson says. Ranch-style homes built during the late 1960s dominate the community. Landscaping usually comes in the form of trimmed shrubbery and flowering bushes, and two-car driveways lead to front-facing garages. Almost all houses have fenced-in backyards large enough for an in-ground pool or entertaining space. Depending on size and condition, most homes sell between $1.2 million and $1.6 million. The community also has a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.From playgrounds and Little League to fishing and hiking
Comanche Park is at the center of the community and has a pair of shaded playgrounds. Santa Teresa Little League uses the adjacent baseball diamonds at Herman Leonard Intermediate School for games and skill clinics. Almaden Lake Park is 2 miles west and is a hub for recreation. Along with a fishing lake, the park includes several athletic courts and facilities, a multi-use trail loop and grassy areas for picnics. Visitors can expect plenty of parking, which comes with a $6 daily fee. Santa Teresa County Park is also nearby and offers natural immersion across its hilly hiking and mountain biking trails. The adjoining Santa Teresa Golf Club features an 18-hole course open to the public.Multiple schools are within walking distance
Young students can attend Sakamoto Elementary School, which has a B-plus rating from Niche, or B-minus-rated Earl Frost Elementary School. These feed into Herman Leonard Herman Intermediate School, which earns a B-plus and is located in the neighborhood. The school is home to the district’s AdVenture STEM Program, which offers enrolled sixth through eighth-grade students a curriculum centered around hands-on learning. Santa Teresa High School scores an A and offers Silicon Valley Career Technical Education. The program allows 11th and 12th-grade students an opportunity to earn college credits and industry certifications within pathways ranging from Nursing to Forensic Science and Cybersecurity. Local private school options include Challenger School – Shawnee, which is also in the neighborhood, and A-rated Apostles Lutheran School.Easy access to major roadways and public transportation
State routes 85, 101 and 87 are all accessible within 4 miles of the community. The latter connects residents to downtown, 9 miles northeast and San Jose Mineta International Airport, 3 miles farther. Kaiser Permanente San Jose Medical Center is closer to home, a couple of miles east. Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority buses serve stops along Snell Avenue. Johnson says that the authority’s light rail tends to be more reliable. Nearby stations include Santa Teresa, Snell and Cottle, all of which are a part of the Blue Line.Dining options are abundant and Westfield Oakridge is nearby
Santa Teresa Square is within walking distance of the community’s southeastern corner. The shopping center includes Nob Hill Foods and a handful of restaurants like Peetz Coffee and Ph? La, which serves authentic Thai dishes. Johnson says Aqui Blossom Valley is another frequented restaurant in the area. The casual spot offers walk-up style ordering for California-Mexican eats. The popular Westfield Oakridge is a 3-mile trip east. “If you want to do some serious shopping, you go to Oakridge,” Johnson says. The mall has more than 200 retailers and hosts holiday pop-up stores for locally owned businesses and boutiques.San Jose's air quality concerns and high-pollution seasons
Considering its location in the South Bay, San Jose is at higher risk of poor air quality. According to Bay Area Air Quality Management District data, weather, traffic congestion and other factors contribute to high pollution rates. Residents can expect increased risk levels during the summer and winter seasons.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
