This area is a little farther away from Downtown, walkable to Japantown, but not to San Pedro Square. WILLOW GLEN Located just outside of Downtown, Willow Glen is a desirable San Jose neighborhood. The area features a lovely town center with shops, restaurants and parks. This is a very walk-, family- and pet-friendly area. While Willow Glen does not have the same nightlife feel as Downtown San Jose, some young professionals choose this area because of the availability of budget friendly apartments. The Lincoln Avenue area is a favorite due to the abundance of bus stops and excellent nearby amenities.

This area features newer, upscale, pet-friendly loft apartment communities. Very walkable with excellent proximity to a new Whole Foods market, cafes, restaurants as well as quick access to Coleman Shopping Center, with Trader Joes, Target, Marshall’s, PetSmart, BJ’s Brewery, and more.
