East San Jose homes surrounded by shopping centers

Silverland is a small neighborhood 8 miles east of downtown San Jose. Mid-1980s homes with views of the foothills are within biking distance of surrounding shopping centers and parks. Silverland sits between Evergreen Branch Library and Village Square Branch Library with Evergreen Valley United Methodist Church at its center. “People don’t want to leave because it’s a nice, beautiful life here,” says Michelle Elliott, San Jose resident and Coldwell Banker Realtor. “But you might come here, raise kids, make money, then retire to another location.” Silverland is also a short drive from Sikh Gurdwara San Jose, a large Sikh temple that is open to all, regardless of faith. Considered a spiritual destination in the Bay Area, this temple is funded by donations and powered by solar energy.
The Evergreen Library has a ton of resources for the curious mind.

Low-risk area for earthquakes

The Bay Area is known for its many fault lines, particularly the San Andreas Fault, which lies west of San Jose. However, the Silver Creek fault line runs through eastern San Jose, a few blocks from Silverland. “Earthquakes are certainly not a daily concern; I’ve just felt a handful and I’ve lived here 20 years,” Elliott says. Residents are more likely to be affected by the regional year-round particle pollution and occasional wildfire smoke.
