The Neighborhood


At first glance, if you look at maps of 95050 and the surrounding area of San Jose, you'd think that 23 Linden Drive was actually in San Jose, and not in Santa Clara. The boundary is close, but this home is squarely in the city of Santa Clara, having Santa Clara utilities (considerably lower cost than PG&E and San Jose services) and part of the Santa Clara Unified School District.

This area of Santa Clara is generally considered part of the area surrounding Santa Clara University which is just to the north. It's also right on the border of the Rose Garden section of San Jose, one of the older more established sections of San Jose, which includes some of the most beautiful tree-lined streets in San Jose, along with shops and restaurants that line the Alameda.

There are also shops and restaurants within walking distance of the home at 23 Linden Drive. These include a video store, a Chinese, Japanese and Brazilian restaurants, a Starbucks, a donut shop, two dry cleaners, a convenience store, two gas stations and a Burger King, all conveniently located at the corner of Newhall and Washington.
