The suburban sea of South San Jose
Located just 7 miles from downtown and sandwiched between Coyote Creek and the Hellyer Velodrome, Ramblewood is a quiet island of sprawling ranch-style homes and townhouses in the sea of suburban South San Jose. “South San Jose has a lot of places to look at. It’s a massive area,” says Realtor Tony Dinh, who’s been in San Jose for 19 years. “But Ramblewood sticks out despite that size.” Its convenient location and quiet remove from the rest of Silicon Valley make it an attractive prospect for homebuyers looking to be just close enough to the action of the tech sector with the option to enjoy the outdoors in peace. “People love being close to the parks,” Dinh continues. “It’s just a nice little neighborhood, a high-quality area.”
Residing in Ramblewood
Spanish-influenced homes are the most common style in Ramblewood, though townhouses with Modern Traditional designs are currently being constructed. Among these prospective homebuyers will also find sprawling ranch-style homes and townhouses constructed in the 1980s. An older three-bedroom townhouse can price around $800,000, while newer models and larger ranch-style houses will both climb as high as $1.5 million. “Many of the homes have either been recently built or recently remodeled,” Dinh says. “Homes there are attractively priced for the area, and buyers get a lot of privacy.”

The Coyote Creek Trail

On the south side of the neighborhood, Hellyer County Park features a velodrome for track cycling and serves as the trailhead for the Coyote Creek Trail, which meanders north 3 miles to the Tully Community Branch Library through the 18-hole Los Lagos Golf Course. This public course also features a driving range and a restaurant.
Up the Capitol Expressway or across it
Residents can head 2 miles east on the Capitol Expressway to Sprout’s Farmers Market or Target to grab groceries, or they can skip less than half a mile across the street to Lion Supermarket, which offers a wide selection of Asian products and fresh produce. Q Pot Korean BBQ & Hotpot is a local favorite that serves up all-you-can-eat Korean classics in its contemporary storefront that includes a well-stocked bar, and Caribbean at Back A Yard Caribbean Grill is a popular regional chain that dishes authentic Jamaican flavors like jerk chicken and fried plantains.

The Capitol Train Station is just 3 miles outside the neighborhood, so locals can catch a train and be in San Francisco in under 2 hours.
The Sharks and the San Jose Museum of Art
Being just 7 miles from Downtown San Jose means that Ramblewood locals can take advantage of all that Teal Town has to offer, including watching the teal-clad San Jose Sharks take the ice at SAP Center. The San Jose Museum of Art is open from Thursday to Sunday and features revolving exhibitions by local and nationally recognized artists.
San Jose’s storied past
As the first capital of California, San Jose is a city richly imbued with historical significance. One prime example is the Gonzalez/Peralta Adobe, located in the heart of downtown, just 7 miles from Ramblewood. Constructed in 1797 by the first resident and second mayor of San Jose, an Apache Indian named Jose Manuel Gonzales, this historic home offers outdoor seating where locals can enjoy their morning coffee amidst a representation of the ancient heritage of their hometown.
