North San Jose & Alviso
San Jose's only waterfront — Bay Trail, Don Edwards Refuge, BART access.
North San Jose & Alviso homes for sale occupy San Jose’s only waterfront — the former fishing town of Alviso sits directly on the southern edge of San Francisco Bay. The Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge wraps the area, and the Bay Trail runs through the neighborhood for running, cycling, and birdwatching.
North San Jose is also Silicon Valley’s deepest industrial tech corridor — Samsung, Cisco, and countless other major employers have campuses here — and BART access at Berryessa/North SJ has driven significant interest. Housing is a mix of older Alviso single-family character, newer townhomes and condos, and emerging transit-oriented development.
Prices typically run $1M to $1.5M, with waterfront Alviso homes having distinctive character. Recent appreciation has been notable — up 33% year-over-year in pockets of the area — driven by the tech employment base and BART accessibility.
