| If
there was a perfect suburbia, its name might just be
"Blossom Valley." Situated in south San Jose,
just northeast of the breathtaking Los Capitancillos
Ridge that separates it from Almaden Valley, Blossom
Valley's well regarded schools, recreational amenities,
outstanding Mediterranean climate and convenient location
make it one of the region's best family neighborhoods.
And by Silicon Valley standards, it's affordable.
Populated by soccer moms and little league coaches
and interspersed with vestiges of San Jose's agricultural
history, Blossom Valley is a short drive from downtown
San Jose's cultural resources and Silicon Valley's high
technology work centers.
Blossom Valley offer views of Mt. Umunhum to the west,
and from higher ground, the lights of the Santa Clara
Valley at night. Along the ridge of Sierra Azuls, part
of the Santa Cruz Mountains of the Coastal Range, is
Almaden Quicksilver County Park, one of Santa Clara
County Park system crown jewels. Almaden Lake Park,
the city's only park with a sand beach, offers boating,
fishing, swimming and windsurfing.
Blossom Valley has all manner of convenient retail
shopping, from home improvement to neighborhood shopping
and services. The newly renovated (2004) Oakridge regional
shopping center is anchored by Macy's and Sears and
has more than 100 specialty stores.
An excellent highway system and light rail service
connects the community to all parts of the valley, and
makes it easy to escape to Northern California's ski
slopes and mountains to the east, the beaches to the
west or San Francisco to the north.
