Valley View-Reed is a suburban community in south San Jose. Buyers here have access to well-kept homes, good schools and convenient shopping centers. The area sits at the intersection of Almaden Expressway and state Route 85, which makes for an easy commute to Silicon Valley and the rest of the Bay Area.
Most houses in Valley View-Reed are 1950s to 1970s ranch-style and New Traditional homes. Neighborhood streets are lined with trees and sidewalks, creating a cozy, suburban feel. “It’s one of the original suburbs of downtown San Jose,” says Shannon Farrell, who is the VP of operations at BRG Realty with nearly 20 years of experience. “There are more condos and duplexes in that area, and you’ll find older homes with deep roots there.” Single-family homes generally range from $1.2 million to $2.6 million. Condos are between the upper $400,000s and the lower $600,000s. Townhouses hover around $900,000 to $1.1 million, while duplexes are around $2 million. Some condos and townhouses have monthly HOA fees, covering amenities like landscaping and common area facilities.
The Valley View-Reed community is a great place to raise a family; block parties are common throughout the year, and during the holiday season, neighbors come together to set up decorations and festive light displays. The neighborhood also has several day care centers and youth sports programs, like Branham Hills Little League.
Much of the neighborhood is served by San Jose Unified School District, which has school choice and interdistrict transfer options. The highly rated Pioneer High School, offering both Advanced Placement and career technical education courses, is the home school for most students in the district.
A smaller portion of the community is part of the well-regarded Union School District for elementary and middle school years. From there, students typically advance to the highly rated Branham High School, which is part of Campbell Union High School District.
Nearby highly rated charter options include Sartorette Elementary School, Price Middle School and University Preparatory Academy, a top charter school with a strong college prep curriculum.
