The home
A modern home in San Jose. Close to the things that make a city worth living in, and quiet enough to forget them when you want to.
Three stories on Proximity Way, built in 2020. The front door opens to a landscaped paseo, not a lobby. San Pedro Square is down the street, Japantown up it — and one block over, the city is building two new parks.
Main level
One open floor. Nothing wasted.
Living, dining, and kitchen share the second floor — hardwood end to end, windows on both sides. A half bath sits by the entry; laundry is inside the home.
Kitchen
A center island, a gas range.
Solid-surface counters, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and a breakfast bar that takes the morning shift.
Upstairs
A suite to retreat to.
The primary bedroom runs the width of the top floor — walk-in closet with built-ins, an updated en-suite with double vanity and stall shower. The second bedroom gets two windows and a full bath off the hall.
The building
2020 construction, not a flip.
Fiber-cement and stucco over a brick base, zoned heating and cooling, a tankless water heater, an attached one-car garage off the rear lane. The systems are six years old, not sixty.
The specifics
Stated plainly.
- 2 bedrooms · 3 baths — two full, one half.
- 1,370 square feet across three stories. Built 2020.
- Hardwood on the main level; carpeted bedrooms.
- Zoned central air conditioning and heat. Tankless water heater.
- Indoor laundry. Attached one-car garage.
- HOA $400 per month.
The block
The home is finished.
The neighborhood is still getting better.
One block from the front door, San José is building the final piece of the North San Pedro neighborhood: two public parks, expected to open in early 2027.
Two parks.
One block away.
0.89 acres
An outdoor living room
for the neighborhood.
Elizabeth P. Boyer Park runs along North San Pedro between Bassett and West Julian — the larger of the two parks, and the one the City of San José describes as the neighborhood's "outdoor living room." It carries the name of the activist and suffragist who founded San José's first Black women's club in 1908.
What it changes is daily: somewhere to walk before work, somewhere to sit that isn't your own three floors, somewhere to meet a neighbor — more green between home and downtown.
0.31 acres
Built around fitness and play.
City Gardens Park sits at Bassett and North San Pedro, designed around what the city calls "fitness and play options" — the active counterpart to Boyer's living room, a block apart.
Its name honors Louis Pellier's historic City Gardens nursery, where the prune that built this valley's orchard economy was first grafted — the same story Pellier Park, already open nearby, completes.
Illustrated features are concept-era ideas, not commitments — the City's approved plan governs what gets built.
Not one new park.
A neighborhood of them.
Boyer and City Gardens complete a three-park network. The first — Pellier Park — opened in 2023, about a seven-minute walk. The Guadalupe River Trail threads past the block's west edge.
