South San Jose

South San Jose is where tech goes to chill and escape the Silicon Valley bustle. This relaxed neighborhood is also a dream come true for the outdoor/nature enthusiast. Mountain bikers, hikers and bird-watchers have outdoor serenity right in their backyards. Among the natural highlights of this part of San Jose are Hellyer County Park and Santa Teresa County Park.

Golfers also have a variety of gorgeous greens in this region. Try the Santa Teresa Golf Club or the Coyote Creek Golf Club, which is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Course and is one of the most picturesque in the south Bay Area. While visiting South San Jose, don’t miss a California classic at the drive-in theaters. San Jose’s only drive-in, the West Wind Capitol, shows box office hits on huge screens and even has special midnight showings.
