Centered on The Alameda and the historic Rose Garden and Shasta-Hanchett Park, 95126 offers leafy, walkable streets lined with Craftsman homes and new mid-rise apartments near Diridon Station. Expect a sunny, Mediterranean climate, flat blocks ideal for biking, and quick access to green spaces like the Municipal Rose Garden, Cahill Park, Del Monte Park and Dog Park, and the Guadalupe River Trail. Daily life revolves around coffee and dining on The Alameda (think local roasters and casual-to-upscale eateries), groceries at Whole Foods and Safeway, nearby fitness studios, and weekend trips to SAP Center events and San Pedro Square Market. It’s friendly to families and pets, with picnic lawns, dog runs, and neighborhood gatherings, and it’s commuter-ready with Caltrain, VTA Light Rail, ACE, Amtrak, and fast links to I‑280, 880, and 17; Santa Clara University and downtown are close by. According to Zillow Market Trends, recent median asking rent is around $2,900, with typical listings ranging about $2,300–$3,800 per month.
