Sun Homes for Rent

The Sun neighborhood in San Jose features a mix of apartments, condos, and multi-family properties, with more renters than homeowners. Condos, primarily west of 4th Street, range from modern high-rises to neoclassical styles, often with gated security, pools, and fitness centers. South of the university, 1920s craftsman bungalows house duplexes and multi-family units. The SUN Neighborhood Association organizes events like monthly trash pickups and ice cream socials, and colorful artwork is a common sight. Recreational opportunities include O’Donnell Park, William Street Park, and Selma Olinder Park, all within a mile, offering playgrounds, picnic areas, and sports facilities. The Coyote Creek Trail provides an 18.7-mile route for outdoor activities. Plaza de Cesar Chavez, a mile away, hosts concerts and the annual Christmas in the Park event. The neighborhood has high walk and bike scores, making it easy to reach local dining options like A.M. Craft, Sammy G’s Pizza, and California Wet Burrito, as well as grocery stores like Grocery Outlet and nearby shopping at Walmart Supercenter and Grand Century Shopping Mall. Cultural and entertainment venues in the San Jose Fine Arts district include the San Jose Museum of Art, Tech Interactive, San Jose Improv, and the California Theatre. Commuters benefit from numerous Valley Transportation Authority bus stops, proximity to Interstate 280, and the Santa Clara Light Rail station, which connects to the San Jose International Airport, 6 miles away. The San Jose Amtrak station and the upcoming BART extension further enhance connectivity. Educational options include San Jose State University and Lincoln High, which is highly rated.
