AREA DESCRIPTION: Blossom Valley is a southern San Jose neighborhood offering relaxing views of the foothills and convenient access to highway 85, 87 or 101. Named Blossom Valley due to the area’s history of fruit orchards in the 1940s, this area was built into homes in the 1960s and 1970s. The suburbia feel of the neighborhood and lower prices makes it a great place to buy your first home. Blossom Valley Neighborhood Association hosts many events throughout the year for fun around holidays such as 4th of July. This neighborhood association is volunteer based and coordinates service projects to maintain the community including routine projects such as making sure the dog bag stations are stocked at local parks.
