About Palm

Haven

Palm Haven, located between The Alameda and West San Carlos Street, is a historic and residential San Jose neighborhood with a palm-lined median and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at The Alameda and Race Street, where sidewalk cafes, small galleries, and independent eateries set a relaxed, design-minded tone. Spanish Revival and Craftsman homes sit behind mature street trees, giving the blocks a curated, heritage feel. The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum adds a singular cultural note just up the corridor. Nearby, the SAP Center and Diridon Station bring event-night energy and regional connections without changing the quiet, porch-forward streetscape.
