Residential community in east San Jose
Norwood is a residential community in eastern San Jose’s Evergreen Valley district, known for its high-ranking schools and relatively inexpensive homes. “It’s one of the most affordable communities in Silicon Valley, partially because of its remote location,” says Kimberly Leal, a local Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Silicon Valley who has sold homes in San Jose for more than 20 years. The Eastern Foothills are nearby, so residents have easy access to outdoor recreation and several scenic overlooks offering unobstructed views of the city and surrounding Santa Clara Valley. Students in this neighborhood attend schools within the Evergreen Elementary School District and the East Side Union High School District. Norwood has an overall CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, lower than the national figure of 4.
Tree lined streets of Norwood gives homes shade during hot summer days.

Outdoor recreation at Lake Cunningham
Catty corner to Norwood is Lake Cunningham Regional Park, a popular 200-acre outdoor space with a 50-acre lake in the middle. “A lot of people go to Lake Cunningham for outdoor recreation during the warmer months – the lake borders the Raging Waters waterpark, but the lake and the park are separate things,” Leal says. Its recreational amenities include the San Jose Action Sports Park, a playground, several waterfront picnic areas, volleyball courts and a fitness course. On the opposite side of the lake is Raging Waters San Jose, a national theme park chain that spans 23 acres, including wave pools and waterslides. A few blocks east of Norwood is Groesbeck Hill Park, which sits along the edges of the Eastern Foothills and has a basketball court, tennis courts and a network of walking trails.
Calibunga is a great place to cool out during hot summer days.
Lake Cunningham offers calm waters and perfect place to bird watch.

Nearby shopping and dining
“There are some small strip mall centers in this area, but not much shopping and dining overall,” Leal says. “If people want to go out for dining, most people will go to places with more cuisine options like downtown San Jose or even Los Gatos.” There are a couple shopping centers situated around the Quimby Road and White Road intersection that borders Norwood. At this intersection, locals can grab daily necessities from Walgreens or shop for groceries at supermarkets like New India Bazar, Taste of South Asia and Manila Oriental Market. This intersection is also home to dd’s Discounts, a retail chain with marked-down prices on clothing and home goods.
Walgreens offers quick and easy pick up for your medications.
