Strawberry Park offers schools, suburban living and easy commutes

Strawberry Park is a well-established neighborhood in West San Jose, known for its tree-lined streets and welcoming suburban atmosphere. Homebuyers are drawn to the area for its varied school options, diverse housing and quick access to major commuter routes like Interstate 280. The area also sits just minutes from popular shopping and dining destinations, like Santana Row, and nearby parks with trails and playgrounds.

Homes range from HOA-managed townhouses to multimillion-dollar homes

The neighborhood's wide suburban streets are lined with mature trees, sidewalks and tidy lawns. Housing styles vary from spacious single-family homes in minimal traditional and ranch-style designs to larger multifamily homes. The community is also home to Strawberry Square, a collection of 350 townhouses built in the mid-1970s. Overseen by a homeowners association, the subdivision includes shared recreation areas, private parking and on-site maintenance.

The neighborhood's median sale price is around $2.4 million, with single-family and multifamily homes ranging from $1.5 million to $3.2 million. "Everyone's always commenting on how expensive it is to live here; it's the sunshine tax! We have 300 days of sunshine here," says Realtor Michelle Elliott with Coldwell Banker. Townhouses sell at the lower end of the price point, ranging from the upper $800,000s to just under $1.2 million.

Several school districts serve this small west San Jose community

Many kids can walk or bike to Easterbrook Discovery School, a highly rated kindergarten through eighth-grade public school. Its STEAM Wheel elective rotates students through project-based classes in coding, engineering, visual arts and environmental science.

Interstate 280 makes getting around the region convenient

The neighborhood is very commuter-friendly. Drivers have direct access to Interstate 280, which stretches across the peninsula up to San Francisco. It's a direct line to Downtown San Jose and major job centers throughout Silicon Valley. Lawrence Expressway keeps the area connected to the rest of West San Jose. Both corridors can bring excess noise to the community, especially during rush hours, but many people see that as a fair trade-off for a convenient commute. While most people drive to get around, VTA bus stops are available, and many major roads have bike lanes.
