Welcome to Almaden in San Jose, CA
The largest city in Santa Clara County and Northern California, San Jose is renowned as the one of the main centers of the high tech industry, and boasts a population of over 900,000. Attractive to many for job opportunities and prosperous businesses, newcomers soon find there is much more to San Jose than the high-tech companies which call the area home. What makes San Jose is the myriad of neighborhoods which have evolved, all sustained by their own shops, businesses, churches, social organizations and activities. One of these neighborhoods is Almaden, located at the very south end of San Jose, just past Blossom Valley, and offers a mix of housing and price ranges for home owners. Because it is located towards the outskirts of the city, Almaden leads toward a large regional park with lots of land and open space, creating a country feeling to which many residents and visitors are immediately attracted. You will find a diverse range of homes here, from older, established units built in the mid-20th century, brand new, custom and upscale houses, and those homes built in the hills which enjoy striking views of untouched land, or city lights (depending upon how the home is situated). No matter what style of house you own, though, Almaden is an ideal location for nature lovers and those simply seeking a relaxed lifestyle. Because of its location on the edge of Silicon Valley, Alamden offers residents easy access to Quicksilver County Park , one of the jewels of the Santa Clara County Park system. With nearly 4000 acres of steep hillsides, cool forests, open meadows, and deep valleys, many residents find this park an ideal location for sporting, camping, hiking, fishing, horse-back riding, and many other activities. Almaden Lake Park is San Jose 's only park featuring a sand beach and swim area for fishing, boating, hiking, wind surfing, picnicking and playing volleyball or horseshoes, as well as the site for the annual San Jose International Triathlon. Connected to Almaden Lake Park is the Los Alamitos Creek Trail, a 3.9-mile trail featuring a fitness course winding through scenic agricultural lands and riparian communities. For golf enthusiasts Almaden Country Club, a private golf course, is the setting for many professional golf matches. Through the Almaden Recreation and Community Center senior, youth and adult activities are coordinated offering arts & crafts, dance, exercise, music, drama, self defense, personal improvement, and pre-school age activities and classes. For those seeking a means of transportation to San Jose and the surrounding Bay Area other than the highways, a light-rail station at Coleman Street , on the north border, will take you to downtown as well as throughout the Bay Area.
