Strawberry fields forever?
Though Strawberry Park is now at the heart of the tech industry, its name references San Jose's fruitful past as a hub for the canning industry. "People used to pick a lot of strawberries in that area,” says Wayne Haraguchi, a San Jose native and Realtor for Intero Real Estate Services, Inc. “Actually, my father, mother and grandmother picked strawberries there. Santa Clara County used to have about 20 fruit canneries." Located 7 miles from downtown San Jose, Strawberry Park is now a quiet, residential neighborhood containing highly rated schools and houses of worship like the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and the Korean Baptist Church of San Jose. Strawberry Park borders Cupertino and is less than 3 miles from Apple’s corporate campus and the Apple Park Visitor Center. The neighborhood’s overall CAP Index crime score is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
Strawberry Park boasts a quiet, residential charm near San Jose’s tech hub.
Once a hub for strawberries, Strawberry Park now is a peaceful, thriving community.

Multifamily homes cost between $1.9 million and $2.6 million. “Everyone’s always commenting on how expensive it is to live here; it’s the sunshine tax! We have 300 days of sunshine here,” says Michelle Elliott, Coldwell Banker Realtor and longtime San Jose resident.
The neighborhood is also home to Strawberry Square, a collection of 350 townhouses built in the mid-1970s. The Strawberry Square HOA meets at the clubhouse, which residents can also reserve. The community includes a pool, tennis courts and five playgrounds. Prices range from $1 million to $1.6 million.
