Located in the south of San Jose and to the east of Almaden Valley, Santa Teresa is a scenic part of San Jose with excellent livability and pleasant views. The Santa Teresa foothills is home to the Santa Teresa County Park. This diverse 1,673-acre park is rich in history and offers spectacular views from its trails above the Almaden and Santa Clara Valleys. The park is a haven that provides a quiet respite for exploring the natural environment minutes away from surrounding developed areas. The area is admired for being one of the best places to live with a choice between the natural grasslands or the hustle of the big city within a short driving distance. Close to highways 85 and 101, commuters with families can have the best nature and city life.
