I love this area. It is close to everything I need. Lots of restaurants, grocery stores, department stores, banks, parks, gas stations and the mall. This is a safe neighborhood, where I can walk my dog and exercise outdoors. I am also close to the gym. There are lots of friendly neighbors and families. The school system is better here than in East San Jose. There is traffic in the mornings and at night after work, but that is typical in the Bay Area. The homes are lovely in this part of town and I love living here. Santana Row is not far which is a great area for nightlife and Downtown San Jose is also close by. The airport is ten to fifteen minutes away. I have everything I need right here in the heart of Silicon Valley.
West San Jose is a great neighborhood. There are three great public schools in the area (Forest Hill [elementary], Rolling Hills [middle school], and Westmont [high school]). The community is very nice and because it is in Silicon Valley, it is home to a lot of people with tech careers. It is near beautiful downtown Campbell, as well as Saratoga and Los Gatos, which offer a great atmosphere with restaurants, shops, and lots of wine. For those who like it, there are many wineries close by as well (such as Savannah & Channelle).
There is a highway nearby, but not so close as to be disruptive. The neighborhood is quite safe and members of the community quickly notify the rest of the community of any possible criminal activity through Nextdoor Westmont. There are many families with kids, as well. The neighborhood has recently become quite sought after because of its many benefits and real estate prices have skyrocketed.

It’s a very suburban area, safe, and overall a wonderful place to live! The schools around here are great, but housing prices are pretty high.
