Introducing: Evergreen

Located in East San José, Evergreen has undergone an evolution from its agricultural past that is common to Santa Clara Valley neighborhoods. The area has experienced rapid development in the past few decades, which has led to multiple communities and private country clubs. It is generally bounded by Tully Road to the north, Capitol Expressway to the west, San Felipe Road to the south, and foothills to the east.

Joseph D. Grant County Park features trails overlooking the city skyline, and Brigadoon Park is a well-known attraction and home to popular cement slides. Visitors and locals enjoy shopping at nearby Eastridge Mall, golfing at The Ranch or The Villages, and airshows at Reid-Hillview Airport that hearken back to another part of Evergreen’s rich history...

Rich in opportunity, culture, and sunshine, Cupertino is as progressive and diverse as its Silicon Valley surroundings.

Around the world, Cupertino is famous as the home of high-tech giant Apple Inc. To the locals, it’s known as a city with excellent public schools and close-knit neighborhoods.

Introducing: Rose Garden

The Rose Garden is one of San José's oldest neighborhoods outside the downtown core around the Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe. Several existing Victorian houses in the neighborhood date from the 1860s and 1870s, particularly along Magnolia, Hester, and Hedding Streets. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, The Alameda or “Beautiful Way” attracted wealthy residents who built mansions along its frontage.

In 1927, the neighborhood and its immediate surroundings were primarily pear and prune orchards. That year, the City of San José purchased an 11-acre prune garden and converted part of it into the Municipal Rose Garden, which has been recognized as “America’s Best Rose Garden” and features more than 3,500 plantings! It’s this city landmark that gives this unique and charming neighborhood its name.
