Near the southernmost edge of the San Jose city limits is Miner, a quiet suburb characterized by single-family homes and access to nearby shopping centers, transit options and parks. “Miner is an area that people can afford to buy into that’s still in South San Jose,” says Christopher Ward, a local Realtor with Legacy Real Estate & Associates. “It’s definitely a primarily residential neighborhood.” Ward also notes that Miner’s easy freeway access is a big draw for commuters. Residents also enjoy proximity to large outdoor spaces surrounding the neighborhood, such as Martial Cottle Park and Santa Teresa County Park. The Oak Grove Elementary School District, which receives a C-plus Niche rating, serves primary and intermediate students in this area, while secondary students are zoned for the A-rated East Side Union High School District.

Martial Cottle Park spans almost 300 acres
Miner Park is a five-acre outdoor space with two half-sized children’s playgrounds; pet owners are often seen walking their dogs along the paved path that loops around the park. Ward says many residents also visit the nearby Martial Cottle Park, a nearly 300-acre outdoor area 1.5 miles north of the neighborhood. “Martial Cottle Park used to be a privately-owned ranch; when the owner passed away about 20 years ago, he had agreed to donate all of his land to the city of San Jose as long as they promised to turn it into a park and wouldn’t use it for residential development – the city kept their promise,” Ward says. Across the park’s hundreds of acres are 3 miles of multi-purpose trails and several reservable picnic areas. The park partners with local agricultural groups to farm and grow crops in the park and assist with leading community learning, Ward says.
Locals can head to Martial Cottle Park to celebrate autumn at its Fall Festival, a popular annual event centering around the valley’s agricultural history. Festivalgoers can enjoy everything from live music performances and petting zoos to food vendors and pumpkin patches. Rows of local arts and crafts exhibits and artisan vendor booths are scattered throughout the festival grounds. Admission to the event itself is free, but there is a small parking fee.
Martial Cottle Park offers peaceful trails and scenic views in the heart of San Jose.
The lush lawns of Miner Park make it a favorite for outdoor fun in Miner.
