Commodore Homes for Rent

Commodore, a suburban neighborhood located 4 miles from downtown San Jose, is known for its highly rated schools and neighborhood parks. Families can enjoy the Chinese Cultural Garden in Overfelt Gardens and the walking trails in Penitencia Creek County Park. The area features late 20th-century bungalows, Mediterranean-style homes, and early 21st-century townhouse communities. Local schools include Vinci Park Elementary, Piedmont Middle, Independence High, and KIPP San José Collegiate, all of which are highly rated. Commodore offers a variety of things to do, such as visiting the 33-acre Overfelt Gardens, hiking in Penitencia Creek County Park, and attending events at the Educational Park Branch Library. The San Jose Flea Market, held every weekend, provides a lively atmosphere with hundreds of vendors, live music, and a kids' area. Dining options include Claw Shack for Cajun seafood and King Eggroll for Chinese cuisine. Commodore is well-connected with major highways, the Berryessa/North San Jose BART station, and VTA bus stops. The neighborhood is pedestrian and cyclist-friendly with dedicated bike lanes and sidewalks. Safety in Commodore is comparable to the national average, and while there is a low risk of wildfires, residents may experience ash and smoke from nearby mountain ranges. Flooding is a concern along Coyote Creek and Penitencia Creek, but the city has plans to build flood walls to mitigate this risk.
