Totem Ct, Vineyard (Avalon)

I don't live here, but I used to visit, when I knew someone who rented (happily) for many years. What this area has is great access to Interstate 680, as well as being right near the intersection of Mission Blvd. and Paseo Padre Pkwy., two major arteries through town. It is also less than a mile from 880 and several hotels, along with convenience stores, supermarkets, fast food restaurants, several salons, and clothing stores such as Ross.

Big houses and well-tended yards, many with pools in the back. So this is an area for upper-income families. An upscale part of town to rent in too. Also, I have heard that the local schools, including Mission San Jose High, are considered the most desirable in town. also It is a couple of miles to Ohlone Junior College. There are excellent buses that run on time.

Superb access to Silicon Valley via the two major freeways mentioned above, and all the infrastructure you'll need , make this a highly desirable area.
