Though Mountain View, Palo Alto and other cities in Silicon Valley are recognized throughout the world, San Jose isn’t as widely known. Though special in its own way, and with Burke Williams having longtime roots in the city, we wanted to highlight a few of the things that make San Jose unique in this blog post.
From the architecture, diversity, history and a forward-thinking community that’s tech-oriented and changing the future, it’s exciting to see how San Jose evolved over time and below are some of the reasons why people either visit the city or live in San Jose now:
Great Weather and Outdoor Activities
One of the best things about San Jose and the region in general is the weather – a mild Mediterranean climate where you can expect sunny days but don’t have to deal with extreme temperatures, which also makes the city perfect for those seeking outdoor adventures. From hiking at Castle Rock State Park to exploring various gardens, the possibilities are endless and you can explore more on the San Jose Convention & Visitors Bureau website.
The Food and Nightlife: Where San Jose Shines
Many people visiting Silicon Valley are there for meetings, attending conferences and other business-related events, and since the valley goes dark at night, people often choose to stay in San Jose where there’s a much better nightlife along with unique dining options fit for a foodie. With its many flavorful eateries, al fresco dining, and a unique ambiance, Santana Row plays a key role in the rich tapestry that is West San Jose.
Santana Row’s Impact on San Jose
What was initially created to be a “village within a city” has become a premiere hub of dining, shopping and living, and nearly 25,000 residents live within one mile of Santana Row. Drawing inspiration from the many fountains and cobblestone streets of Europe, Burke Williams was a natural fit, bringing with it a sense of elegance and rejuvenation. Since 2003, Burke Williams has been a staple of the Santana Row experience.
