Sought-after residential suburb near downtown Campbell

Nestled among the suburbs of Campbell is San Tomas Aquinos, a desirable residential neighborhood characterized by quiet streets lined with single-family homes, sidewalks and manicured front yards. “It takes about five to seven minutes to drive to downtown Campbell,” says Lynette Morehead-Crum, a local Realtor with the Crum-Constantino Real Estate Team at Intero Real Estate Services. “The biggest draws of San Aquinos Tomas are its central location and great school options – it’s just a generally good family neighborhood.” Depending on their address, students can attend public schools within the Moreland School District or Campbell Union School District. Residents have convenient access to several nearby highways and the Downtown Campbell light rail station. “Some people who live in the neighborhood are working remotely or partially remote, but there’s also a lot of people who commute for work to Silicon Valley companies like Apple and Google,” Morehead-Crum says.

Walking to San Tomas Park and John D. Morgan Park

San Tomas Park – the neighborhood’s namesake – is a 4.8-acre outdoor space with two playgrounds, paved walking paths, two basketball courts and an open field area. Residents can also use a convenient pedestrian bridge that crosses a busy highway to walk to the 32-acre John D. Morgan Park, where coniferous trees tower over walking trails, little league fields and picnic areas. Morehead-Crum says that many people who live in this area use the nearby Los Gatos Creek Trail for outdoor recreation activities like biking and running; this pedestrian-only trail system starts far south of the neighborhood at the Lexington Reservoir and travels up to downtown San Jose.
