As the state’s third-largest city, San Jose offers the perfect blend of urban convenience and welcoming neighborhood charm. Known worldwide for innovation, it’s anchored by major companies such as Adobe, Cisco, eBay, PayPal, Zoom, and Samsung, along with hundreds of startups that attract talent from around the globe.
Beyond its thriving tech economy, people love living in San Jose for its beautiful Mediterranean climate, with nearly 300 sunny days each year, and its easy access to nature, including Almaden Quicksilver Park, Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve, and the Los Gatos Creek Trail. With the coast just a short drive away, weekend escapes to Santa Cruz or Half Moon Bay are part of the lifestyle.
San Jose’s diverse neighborhoods each offer something unique—like the boutique charm of Willow Glen, the top-rated schools and scenic foothills of Almaden Valley, the family-friendly feel of Berryessa, and the modern energy of Downtown.
The city is also rich in culture, featuring destinations such as San Pedro Square Market, The Tech Interactive, and the SAP Center, home to the San Jose Sharks. Its diversity fuels an incredible food scene and a strong sense of community that make newcomers feel welcome.
Whether you’re relocating for work or simply searching for a place with a high quality of life, San Jose offers endless possibilities.

Caroline and her team are amazing. We had a bad experience with a different Realtor Company. Once Caroline and her team came, our home was sold faster than what we expected. I recommend Caroline Hobbs 100%.
Caroline has recently helped me sell a condo in San Jose and buy another condo in Los Gatos. I can’t praise her work and her team’s work enough. She is knowledgeable, assertive yet pleasant. Always on top of things, always doing her best for her client.
Caroline has been everything we could hope for in a realtor. She has a deep understanding of the area and the housing market, and expertise in all the finer details that a prospective buyer may not consider or are generally uneducated on. She’s communicative, prompt and rigorously thorough and we always felt confident that she was looking out for our best interests. Her network of exceptional industry professionals is vast, and saved us time, money and sanity. We found Caroline by luck to buy our new home and didn’t think twice about working with her again to sell our current home. We would happily recommend her to anyone.
