Pollard Plaza - Unclaimed

East San Jose stretches across the city’s eastern side, with foothill views and a warmer, sunnier feel than the Bay Area’s coast. Alum Rock Park offers trails, creekside scenery and open space, while the nearby foothills invite hiking and outdoor exploration. History is visible at the Mexican Heritage Plaza, a cultural venue with performances and community events. Along East Santa Clara Street and nearby corridors, casual restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops serve a wide range of cuisines, with everyday shopping clustered around major roads and centers. Getting around is easiest by car, though VTA buses and light rail connect parts of the area with central San Jose. For the East San Jose neighborhood, the median rent is $3,850 per month, with a typical range of $1,200 to $7,500, based on 33 active listings.
