    Neighborhood: Downtown

    Anchored by downtown San Jose, 95112 blends urban energy with historic character, from tree-lined Naglee Park and artsy Spartan Keyes to lively Japantown—one of the nation’s last—with street festivals, Roy’s Station coffee, and beloved mom‑and‑pop eateries. Weekends revolve around San Pedro Square Market’s food hall, SoFA galleries and live music, and strolls or bike rides along the Guadalupe River Trail to Backesto, Roosevelt, and Watson parks; it’s pet friendly and welcoming to students, professionals, and long‑time families. Grocery runs are easy with nearby Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, plus local markets; cafés like Academic Coffee and Philz, restaurants ranging from ramen to tacos, and local breweries such as Camino and Hapa’s fuel a strong dining scene. VTA light rail, quick access to 87/280/101, and proximity to Diridon Station make it commuter friendly, and San José State University adds college-town buzz. Recent Zillow market trends show a median rent around $2,700, with most listings $2,200–$3,500+.
