Close to major attractions and business hubs in North Santa Clara
Santa Clara’s northern district places residents near the heart of the city’s action while offering quality home-buying options of all shapes and sizes. “North Santa Clara has a lot more of the specific communities with condos and HOA-type surroundings, but what people like about it is being closer to the town’s major attractions and business centers,” says local property manager Lauren Mendez. “Lots of employment opportunities and tons of fun things to do.”

Mediterranean-style homes in and around the Rivermark community
North Santa Clara is packed with a wide range of subdivisions, from townhome communities to classic Silicon Valley suburbs just north of Highway 101. “A popular neighborhood developed a while back is called Rivermark,” says Brett Weitzmann, a Silicon Valley native and Realtor with The Agency. “It’s right off of Montague Expressway, really nice properties with tree-lined streets.” Rivermark is in high demand for its Colonial Revival and Mediterranean-influenced builds ranging in price between $1 million and $3 million. Surrounding neighborhoods offer ranch-style homes, California bungalows and the occasional luxury build ranging in price from $1 million to $2 million. Townhomes and condos are priced similarly, occupying ornate strips of Mediterranean-style buildings with additional association fees for amenities like landscaping, pools and spas. Altogether, homebuyers can expect to find well-maintained properties extending to wide sidewalks with ample street parking.

A laundry list of craft beer, bubble tea and classic American grub
“Rivermark was developed with its own shopping center called Rivermark Village,” Weitzmann explains. There, locals can grab the essentials from Safeway or browse various casual dining spots like Cold Stone Creamery or Egghead Sando Café. “And on the other side of 101, Santa Clara Square has a Whole Foods, restaurants, yoga,” Weitzmann continues. “It’s nice to have those additional options to explore,” like Barebottle Brewing Company, serving a laundry list of craft beer, wine and coffee creations. Other eats include bubble tea from Gong Cha, seafood from Pacific Catch and classic American grub from Floodcraft Taproom, all walkable within the square’s perimeter. Locals will also find a Walmart, TJ Maxx and HomeGoods at Mercado, a shopping hub next door to Mission College.

Next door neighbors with Levi’s Stadium
Residents are positioned less than a mile from a handful of Santa Clara’s busiest hubs. “Levi’s Stadium is famously where the San Francisco 49ers play,” Weitzmann says. “Obviously, they hold a lot of concerts there and things like that, but there’s also the amusement park—California’s Great America.” Home to South Bay Shores Waterpark, this amusement park features more than 60 rides, live entertainment and restaurants. The stadium down the street has hosted internationally recognized events, from The Rolling Stones to the Superbowl. Further, residents can look forward to Santa Clara’s annual events like the Art & Wine Festival or Holiday Tree Lighting in Central Park.

Two catchment areas under Santa Clara Unified Schools
Students are zoned for the Santa Clara Unified School District and divided between two catchment areas. Rivermark families can expect their children to begin at the walkable Don Callejon School, a kindergarten through eighth-grade institution with an A on Niche. Others begin at Hughes Elementary, scoring a B-plus on Niche. These students continue on to Dolores Huerta Middle School, while all complete their education at Kathleen MacDonald High, both of which are currently unrated on Niche. Not only does MacDonald High School have its own theater department, but it also offers a wide variety of extracurricular clubs, from cultural groups to chess, dance and cheer.

The many parks along Guadalupe River Trail
Homes in Rivermark surround Live Oak Park, a popular green space for both community residents and guests alike. The park borders the Northside Branch Library with its volleyball court, playground and tree-lined field. “There’s a trail right along the perimeter of Rivermark called the Guadalupe River Trail,” Weitzmann says. “A lot of people go there for walks, runs and bike rides. They take their dogs out, too. It’s popular because it runs right along the river.” The trail passes through nearby recreation areas like Thamien Park and Lick Mill Park. Farther north, Baylands Park holds more than 70 acres of preserved shorelines and green spaces, ideal for an impromptu picnic or birdwatching trip.

Navigating Silicon Valley
San Jose Mineta International Airport is less than 4 miles from most residences in North Santa Clara. “Flight noise can be an issue, it depends on the flight path,” Weitzmann explains. “But proximity to the airport is a selling point for many people.” Situated amidst Silicon Valley, “you’re only a few miles or less from all of the high-tech company campuses,” he continues. “There’s Highway 101, Montague Expressway, Route 237—all with traffic during commute hours.” Residents will find bus stops along several nearby thoroughfares, particularly surrounding Mission College. Tasman Station is the closest light rail stop, situated of North First Street. Meanwhile, the closest emergency room is Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center, about 6 miles southwest.
The highway 101 connects North Santa Clara to the rest of the bay area.
