De Voss-Leigh has well-regarded schools and a scenic location
Along the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains are the winding neighborhood streets of De Voss-Leigh, a suburb of San Jose that is tucked away from the bustle of city life. Beside the sidewalks of the neighborhood, a variety of trees provide shade, including Italian cypresses, camphor trees and Japanese zelkova, which can turn a vibrant red. “It's a great place to live in the Bay Area. The schools are well regarded, and we have views of the mountains from most streets,” says Kraig Constantino, Realtor with Intero Real Estate Service and the Crum-Constantino Team, who was born and raised around San Jose. “People who like to be outside have year-round access to recreation.” De Voss-Leigh also has a nearby grocery store and restaurants, allowing residents to quickly run errands.

De Voss-Leigh housing options
Many of De Voss-Leigh’s single-family homes were constructed between 1950 and 1970. Most were built as single-story ranch-style houses, and through the years, some homeowners have added second stories for more living space. Others have customized their home’s siding, added thoughtful landscaping or installed solar panels. For a three-bedroom ranch-style residence, buyers can expect to pay a median price of around $1.8 million. There is also a decent percentage of newer, traditional-style homes inspired by French and Mediterranean architecture. These generally top $3 million. Along Union Avenue, condos and townhouses provide more affordable options that begin closer to $1 million for a two-bedroom unit.
