2971 Lansford Avenue Sanjose, CA 95125

The capital of Silicon Valley, and briefly the capital of California itself, San Jose is California’s third-largest city by population and fourth-biggest in land. One can drive some 25 miles, from bayside Alviso to the rural Coyote Valley, without ever leaving its borders. Within those sprawling dimensions lie a diverse array of neighborhoods and lifestyles, all before a watercolor backdrop of Mt. Umunhum and the sometimes-snowcapped Mt. Hamilton. Downtown has all the trappings of a modern, transit-oriented city: entertainment, nightlife, and a skyline. Other than a few other dense pockets, the rest of San José runs predominantly suburban, with a few more spread-out areas to the south and east. Mineta International Airport and historic Diridon Station serve as principal gateways into and out of the Bay Area. CalTrain, BART, and Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) trains all serve San Jose, as well as the VTA light rail.
