San Jose, California
Thanks to IBM, who opened a major facility there in 1943, everyone now knows the way to San Jose. Known as the Capital of the Silicon Valley, the city's story goes from sleepy agricultural town to one of the most innovative cities anywhere in the world.
San Jose was originally settled by Indians as a farming community but attracted military installations early in its history. When the technology companies moved in, the direction of the area completely changed.
While searching for your San Jose apartment, realize that 60% of the city's housing has been built since 1980 and that almost all building since 2000 has been for multifamily dwellings. Big choices in a big town.
Hip Living
Even with all the recent building, you'll find San Jose full of selections. The downtown area is extremely hip for living. It is very urban and has all the characteristics of revitalized areas. Willow Glen and Rose Garden have more vintage charm while the Almaden Valley is more woodsy and almost rural.
The Santana Row area is catching up with the downtown area in hipness for a place to both live, shop and play. You'll need a car in San Jose unless you're on one of the bus/light rail lines that runs downtown. The city also makes bicycle travel enticing with many designated lanes and ease of parking and locking.
Sharks and Music
There are several good museums along with a good technology one which offers many interactive exhibits. The San Jose Sharks are super popular NHL team and their games are 'events'.
The HP Pavilion is one of the busiest big venues in the world hosting sports, concerts and theatre. As one would expect, the music scene is very active as is the live theatre scene.
Best of San Jose
Eating out will find so many options near your San Jose apartment. With both a large Asian and Latino influence, you'll find a wide variety of those restaurants as well as American foods and even four star restaurants.
One of the oldest restaurants is Italian however. Original Joe's is downtown, open late and always has a line. Or try Hunan Taste, which is an offshoot of San Francisco's 'best Chinese restaurant in the world'.
Upbeat Nightlife
As would be expected with such a youthful population, San Jose nightlife is terrific. Santana Row is very hip and upscale. It is like a European village with everything from hotel bars and clubs to smaller more intimate spots.
Checkout the downtown area for live music in places like JJ's Blues or the Voodoo Lounge. Sidewalk tables are common and great fun for drinking and people watching. Once settled into your San Jose apartment, you'll want to explore all these places.
