Some very, very nice homes and subdivisions built close to the foothills. If you are going to work in South SJ, you can find beautiful housing in the area. IBM/Hitachi is in the process of tearing down to make room for more housing. Me...I'm moving to Texas. I love San Jose, but looking for simpler times and losing the rat race. Best to you.

I live and grew up in the area just west of Monterey at the Monterey-Branham intersection. Everything West of Monterey in south San Jose is great, usually the farther West you go, the better. However, the second you cross Monterey Rd., things change dramatically. I went to school on that side of Monterey and let me tell you that the educational system there pales in comparison to schools in the Almaden-Blossom Hill area. So like I said, if you are thinking of south San Jose, stay west of monterey unless you go up into the hills in areas like evergreen which are really nice.
