What are the best places to live in San Jose?

My family and I are moving to San Jose because my wife got transferred for work. I’m looking for a safe neighborhood for kids that has great schools. What are the best areas?

Packing up your family and moving can be stressful, but at least you have some help finding the right areas to look for a home! There are plenty of hidden gems in
San Jose
, but the best areas to live in are:
  • Willow Glen
  • Downtown
  • Japantown
  • West San Jose
  • Campbell
  • Los Gatos
  • Cupertino
  • Silver Creek
  • Evergreen
If you’re looking for a family-friendly area, Cupertino has some of the best schools in California, if not the entire country. Willow Glen, Almaden Valley, Blossom Valley, Evergreen, and Santa Teresa are great areas for families, with great schools, good safety ratings, and lots of parks and kid-friendly activities.
