About East San
Jose
East San Jose, located between Downtown San Jose and the Diablo Range foothills, is a residential and commercial San Jose neighborhood with a grid of postwar streets and a corridor of long-standing storefronts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Story Road at King Road, where taquerias, panaderías, produce markets, and late-night eateries line the sidewalks in a steady hum. Low-slung ranch homes and apartment courts sit beside auto shops and small plazas, giving the streetscape a practical, lived-in feel. Emma Prusch Farm Park adds open fields, gardens, and a rare pocket of rural calm. Mexican Heritage Plaza and the School of Arts and Culture at the Mexican Heritage Plaza anchor performances, classes, and community events. Alum Rock Park frames the eastern edge with trailheads and creekside shade.
