Rich with charm and lush, tree-lined streets, the Rose Garden offers many desirable choices for San Jose real estate. A five-acre park (and the area’s namesake), the Municipal Rose Garden, stands at the heart of this beautiful area. Bungalows, mansions and homes with influences ranging from Mediterranean to Victorian surround the park and line the nearby streets, giving this neighborhood some of San Jose’s most notable elegance available for a median sale price of $497,000 despite several of the homes for sale being available for over $1 million. Other characteristics that make this neighborhood attractive include close proximity to downtown San Jose, Santa Clara University, a number of major Silicon Valley businesses and commonly used South Bay Area freeways.
