What living in Silverland's master-planned community is like

In San Jose's Evergreen Valley district, Silverland is the kind of neighborhood that makes homeowners want to settle down and stay a while. This master-planned community offers a laid-back lifestyle just a short drive from Highway 101, one of San Jose's major commuter corridors. You're also close to highly rated schools, neighborhood parks and popular retail destinations, like Evergreen Village Square. Overall, it's a slice of suburbia that prioritizes everyday convenience without sacrificing its comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere.

Late-20th-century homes here appeal to long-term homeowners

Most of the neighborhood consists of single-family homes from the mid-1980s. Ranch-style houses sit beside New Traditional and Spanish Revival two-story layouts. The community is also home to Oakmont of Silver Creek, a large assisted living facility.

The area's median sale price is around $2 million. Homes rarely go on the market because many people living here are longtime residents. "People don't want to leave because it's a nice, beautiful life here," says Realtor Michelle Elliott with Coldwell Banker. "But you might come here, raise kids, make money then retire to another location."

How nearby fault lines shape but do not define risk

Like the rest of San Jose and the Bay Area, Silverland is in an earthquake-prone region since two fault lines sandwich the Evergreen Valley. However, most seismic activity in the area is linked to other active faults in the county. "Earthquakes are certainly not a daily concern; I've just felt a handful, and I've lived here 20 years," Elliott says.
