West San Jose

The expansive West San Jose neighborhood borders Santa Clara, Saratoga, Cupertino, and Campbell. Homes are predominately 1950s ranchers, with the largest exception being the historic Winchester Mystery House mansion, which is open for tours. Close highway access provides convenient commuting for tech professionals. The neighborhood is home to an abundance of movie theaters, retail shops, and restaurants, with the upscale Santana Row outdoor mall nearby. Further west you’ll find the Mitsuwa Shopping Center and some of the most popular ramen restaurants in the area. With quiet streets and multiple California Distinguished Schools within its borders, West San Jose is ideal for new families.
