West San Jose, San Jose, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
West San Jose is the westernmost neighborhood in San Jose, California. The Lynbrook High School area of West San Jose is bound to the north by Bollinger Road, to the east by Lawrence Expressway, to the south by Prospect Road, and to the west by De Anza Boulevard. The eastern parts of West San Jose, however, are less defined, and can thought to be the part of West San Jose between Lawrence Expressway and California State Highway 17.
Most of the housing was built in the 1950s as moderately priced housing. A few decades later, however, the neighborhood has gone upscale as the median housing value rose to nearly one million dollars.
Until the end of World War II, West San Jose was primarily orchard land that was considered part of Cupertino.[citation needed] Since the post-war housing boom, almost no orchard land has remained in West San Jose.
