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 the many established neighborhood
within San Jose, Willow Glen is quaint but picturesque, with lots of trees and gardens surrounding attractive and lovingly maintained
homes. Many of the homes were custom built in 1930's and retain stylistic and structural characteristics of that era, including basements, hardwood
flo ors, brick walls and large gardens.
Overall the neighborhood has an upscale, charming Midwest-New England
look. It has long been acknowledged that Willow Glen, as well as the Rose Garden district, present some of the finest "old" housing in San Jose.
As one of the many historical and unique districts within San Jose,
Willow Glen is located south and slightly west of downtown. The traditional boundaries of Willow Glen are the Guadalupe River, Los Gatos Creek, and Coe and Curtner Avenues, though many adjacent areas are usually included today. "Downtown Willow Glen" is on Lincoln Avenue, generally between Coe and Minnesota Avenues, and is well-maintained due to the efforts of the
Willow Glen Neighborhood Association (WGNA). "A grassroots community organization dedicated to improving life in Willow Glen", the WGNA is similar to many other neighborhood organizations which is dedicated to the enhancement and preservation of the neighborhood, focusing on issues such as land use, planning, traffic, safety, open space, parks and recreation within Willow Glen. Recently this organization has restored
Los Gatos Creek , which has only increased the value and beauty of Willow Glen, while providing a beautiful trail on which to bike, run, or walk locally.
Locally there are various services and amenities to choose from, including a new Longs Drugstore and other retail shops and stores. A large
child-care center is near the BART station (to which many residents are within walking distance), and residents also have access to a
Caltrain station and park and ride lots. Highways 17 and 280 are close by, with
downtown San Jose easily accessible by side-streets. Parks offer
basketball, handball, tennis, soccer, volleyball courts, exercise courses, various athletic fields and picnic
areas. During the summer, the local gym and pool offer high school students free basketball, volleyball, table tennis, weight training, and recreational swimming.
