Full of recreation and green spaces, Parkview lives up to its name

Defined by planned residential communities, quiet streets and an abundance of neighborhood green spaces, Parkview offers homeowners in southern San Jose room to breathe. “It’s super nice," says Joyce Lavrar, a Realtor with Compass who has sold in the neighborhood. "There are lots of trees and grass and play areas. There’s an HOA swimming pool there. It’s great for people who want to live right across the street from a park.” Commuters working in downtown San Jose or Silicon Valley have access to several highways and public transit options. Students here are served by two school districts: Oak Grove Elementary School District, graded C-plus by Niche, and the San Jose Unified School District, which has an overall B-plus rating. Several shopping centers with retail and grocery options conveniently border the neighborhood.

Fast-selling homes start at around $1.3 million

Parkview’s winding residential roads and cul-de-sacs are lined with single-family homes varying in style but sharing similar features, like paved driveways, garages and well-landscaped front lawns. Throughout the neighborhood, buyers can find Spanish Revival and Mediterranean-style homes with earth-toned stucco facades and tile roofs. Craftsman bungalows and ranch styles showcase a mix of midcentury and Spanish influences. Lavrar says that most of the neighborhood’s ranch-style properties range from 1,400 to 1,500 square feet and typically have three-bedroom, two-bathroom layouts. Single-family homes mostly range between $900,000 and $1.6 million. The community also has a variety of condos and townhouses. Condos can cost between $475,000 and $900,000 with monthly HOA fees of about $500. Townhouses have similar HOA fees and can range from $650,000 to $850,000. On average, homes in Parkview only spend about 17 days on the market before they’re sold, much lower than the national average of 44 days.

Walking to neighborhood green spaces and Martial Cottle Park

Green space is abundant in Parkview, which has five public parks. The 10-acre Vista Park features two baseball fields, a basketball court, a playground and the indoor Vista Park Community Center. Locals can find short walking trails and picnic areas at Meadows Park and the Parkview Parks (three parks that share the neighborhood name are distinguished as Parkview I, Parkview II and Parkview III). Many homes in this neighborhood have backyard pools, but residents can also head to the Parkview III Park swimming pool. Bordering Parkview to the southeast is Martial Cottle Park, a family ranch that's been converted into a sprawling 287-acre outdoor space open to the public. The park has more than 3 miles of paved multi-use trails and several land parcels used by local organizations for agricultural development and education. Martial Cottle Park also hosts an annual Fall Festival that draws in attendees from all over the metro area. For weekend camping trips and mountain biking, the Santa Cruz and Sierra Nevada Mountain ranges border either side of San Jose’s city limits. “There may not be a ton of sightseeing to do in the city itself, but the surrounding mountains and wilderness areas are beautiful and definitely worth visiting,” says Christopher Ward, a local Realtor with Legacy Real Estate & Associates.

Several shopping centers border Parkview

Parkview is sandwiched between multiple shopping centers, making it easy to run errands. North of Capitol Expressway, residents can stop by the Lucky supermarket or The Home Depot. The West Wind Public Market is a large flea market open Wednesday through Sunday. The market also operates a drive-in movie theater in the parking lot. The Westfield Oakridge shopping mall is catty-corner to Parkview and home to popular retailers like Macy’s, Target, Nordstrom Rack and Old Navy. The mall also has a Cinemark Century movie theater showing new-release films. Aqui is a popular Mexican restaurant known for its bowls, burritos and organic menu options. Several other dining options are scattered around just outside the neighborhood, but Ward says one particular eatery stands out: “The best restaurant around here has got to be High Five Pizza,” he says. Located in the Snell & Branham Plaza shopping center, High Five Pizza patrons flock to the family-owned and operated pizzeria for its sports-bar setting, handcrafted pizzas and weekly Wednesday Night BBQ event.
