Tucked away in San Jose, Silver Leaf offers welcoming vibes
Silver Leaf sits at the southern edge of South San Jose’s majestic and sprawling mountains. Located in Santa Clara County, the southernmost of the San Francisco Bay counties, Silver Leaf offers panoramic views of the Santa Cruz mountains to the west and the Diablo Mountain Range to the east. About 7,500 residents enjoy a quiet neighborhood of condominiums, townhouses and one and two-story single-family homes. Neighborhood parks, schools, shopping centers and plenty of dining destinations are enveloped by stunning daily views.
Besides its natural beauty, another notable benefit that lures homebuyers to Silver Leaf is its competitive home prices compared to Silicon Valley neighborhoods to the north. “Buyers know they will get more value for their investment in Silver Leaf,” says James Do, Realtor with Momentum Realty and a lifelong resident of San Jose. “But they also like the conveniences that Silver Leaf offers. Lowes, Target and Costco are all within a five-minute drive, as are a bunch of great restaurants.”
