Oak Grove is a laid-back suburban community in the southern part of San Jose. First-time homebuyers like the neighborhood’s diverse housing options, with condos and townhouses priced well below the city median. The area is also surrounded by major highways and everyday conveniences, making it a comfortable place to settle into suburban living.
Oak Grove has more condos than single-family homes and townhouses, and roughly half the residents rent. The median sale price is around $600,000, much lower than the city median of $1.4 million. Condos typically range from the upper $300,000s to the low $700,000s, and townhouses fall between $600,000 and the low $900,000s. Single-family homes can sell from $1.1 million to $1.4 million. Several mobile park communities are on the south side of the neighborhood. “This is part of the Blossom Valley area,” says Therese Jarrouche, owner of Success Realty with over 20 years of experience. “It’s in high demand, but it still has lower prices compared to Willow Glen, Cambrian and Almaden. There are lots of restaurants and shopping centers off Blossom Hill, and it’s very close to the freeways.”
Oak Grove is near several large shopping and dining hubs, including:
Oak Grove is surrounded by parks and green spaces. “Martial Cottle Park is one of the greatest things that we have in Oak Grove,” says Liborio Millares, a Realtor at Compass with nearly a decade of experience. “You can walk around the park and see lots of young families with strollers walking with the grandparents. They also have a volunteer program with high schools. It’s a very active community park.” The 300-acre park also has community gardens and educational programs about sustainable farming. Coy Park features a safari-themed playground and open green space, while Chynoweth Park is popular for jogging and dog walking. Farther north, Edenvale Gardens Regional Park has facilities for basketball, tennis and volleyball.
