Almaden Valley sits in South San Jose, framed by the Santa Cruz Mountains to the west and the Santa Teresa Hills to the east. Its history runs deep. New Almaden, now a National Historic Landmark district, was California's first mining operation. The 1854 Casa Grande houses the New Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum today.
Outdoor life is a big part of the appeal. Almaden Quicksilver County Park offers more than 37 miles of hiking trails. Calero County Park's reservoir is open year-round for boating. Almaden Lake Park connects to the Los Alamitos Creek Trail and the Guadalupe River trail. Almaden Expressway is the valley's main route, with Highway 85 close by. San José Unified School District serves Almaden Valley, with some neighborhoods served by neighboring districts.
Almaden Valley homes range from established neighborhoods on the valley floor to hillside properties in the foothills. For many owners, the draw is having parks and open space close to home.
