Suburban-living South of the San Francisco Bay
Situated between U.S. Route 161 and U.S. Route 137, the suburban community of Lakewood offers reliable housing with immediate access to the San Francisco Bay and downtown San Jose amenities. Locals here often spend their time taking in the scenic views of the San Francisco Bay at Baylands Park, cheering on the 49ers at Levi Stadium and capitalizing on the quick 8 mile commute into downtown San Jose. With a seemingly endless amount of amenities nearby, locals here rarely have to leave the neighborhood for groceries or entertainment. Lakewood’s accessible housing options and proximity to major attractions make this neighborhood one of Silicon Valley’s best-kept secrets. “The community resides in a very accessible part of Sunnyvale and it’s very beautiful despite the connotations that come along with the idea of trailer parks — The communities are well-kept and don’t have that trailer park feel,” says Tracy Black, long-time local Property Manager.

Multi-family townhouses and single family ramblers
Lakewood features a range of housing options from multi-family townhouses and manufactured homes to single family bungalows and contemporary ranch-styles. Lakewood boasts subdivisions from multi-family manufactured homes and townhomes in areas like Casa de Amigos and Adobe Wells to larger single family homes within the area. Streets here are wide, clean and tree-lined with landscaped greenery throughout the community. With a median sales price of $1,400,000, price points here can range from the mid 100,000s to upwards of around $1,600,000 depending on the age, size and location of the property.

Larger single family homes closer to downtown San Jose are subject to increased price points. Homes here often feature wide paved driveways and are typically fronted by small yards and ornate barriers for added seclusion amongst dense cul-de-sacs. “Don’t let the prefab homes fool you,” says Black. “There’s a fantastic community in Lakewood and the streets are tight, but also really attractive, and the price is too in this day and age.”
