Quiet and a little boring but has great food

7/18/2008 4:32:07 PM -07:00

Irving Street does not have much happening for me. I tried walking around there with my friend but we couldn’t find anything to do after about three hours. We ate a lot.

Of course, ...

Slightly Sketch Sometimes

7/18/2008 4:24:35 PM -07:00

One of the handiest stores on Polk Street is Lombardi’s Sports which is the one of the most convenient, though not necessarily the cheapest sports store.

New Quirky Place

7/18/2008 4:16:34 PM -07:00

Stop and Go street right off Haight and Cole

7/18/2008 12:38:10 PM -07:00

Belvedere Street is a very nice street. It is on a slight hill but it is not bad at all to walk up or down. This street gets really confusing sometimes because it is not straight through.

Decent street with good shopping.

7/18/2008 10:24:59 AM -07:00

North 12th Street is a fairly quiet road, though it does have sections that are better to be avoided, especially at night. Overall this street offers enough shopping, dining and entertainment both on North 12th Street and other nearby roads. There seems to be better police envolvement the futher nor...

Wonderful peaceful street.

7/18/2008 10:05:41 AM -07:00

Shasta Avenue would definitely a place I would be happy to call home. Large trees offer ample shade for the big homes along this street. Many homes have their own refreshing in-ground pools in their private back yards, perfect for those hot California summers! Friendly people, convenient nearby shop...

Beautiful homes on quiet street.

7/18/2008 9:52:16 AM -07:00

Fun street with lots to do

7/18/2008 9:33:33 AM -07:00

Midway St: Nice and a small up hill climb

7/18/2008 9:16:05 AM -07:00

This street is slightly sloping and it is short. There isn’t a lot of noise going all the time except for passing cars on Bay Street.

Very busy downtown street.

7/18/2008 9:15:55 AM -07:00

This street has so much to do, it will keep you busy for a very, very long time.

The light rail offers easy transportation for those who prefer it, making it easy t...

Allen St: Crystal Clean and Clear

7/18/2008 9:11:33 AM -07:00

This tiny street is narrow and it is a quaint place to live. There are mostly big apartments, but there are also houses. It is very clean on this street, there aren’t any old broken bottles of beer, dried up gum, dirt, grime, etc. The houses also don’t have any graffiti and vulgar postings of anythi...

Bad street with good areas.

7/18/2008 8:36:53 AM -07:00

Overall East St John Street is very unsavory, loud, crude, dangerous... ghetto feeling, but the end towards 1st Street is greatly improved. That end runs beside a very nice park and is close to fine dining, shopping and entertainment of the safer part of the downtown area. If you are having to trave...

Loud street with dangerous elements.

7/18/2008 8:15:30 AM -07:00

East Julian Street is a very loud street with plenty rough looking areas. Houses along stretches of this street even have bars on their windows, giving the plain sign that this is a very dangerous area to be in, much less consider living there. While I was on this street I notice the lack of police ...

Great street with lots to do.

7/18/2008 7:43:12 AM -07:00

Rankin Avenue certainly has plenty to boast about. This quiet residential street offers nice homes and friendly people, but it is also conveniently located to all the pleasures of North San Pedro.

Leavenworth: Impoverished in some parts

7/17/2008 9:44:32 PM -07:00

This street passes through one of the most improvised regions in San Francisco, which is the Tenderloin District. There are some blocks on this street that are really grimy and dirty. A lot of homeless people live on the streets and roam around. Thankfully, there are multiple facilities to help the ...

Potrero Ave: Could be better

7/17/2008 8:20:04 AM -07:00

Potrero is in pretty bad condition. There are so many homeless people and drunks that roam the streets. I wouldn't say that it is the safest place either because I've seen arguments take place between two strangers because one of them was drunk. Potrero really could use some help to improve their vi...

Bad street with high crime.

7/16/2008 11:45:17 PM -07:00

One trip to Barlow Avenue is all it takes to see the bad problems that face the residents here on a daily basis. The local police are constantly kept busy with recently reported robberies and suspicious activities in this neighborhood. Ocala Park would be within easy walking distance if it were stil...

7/16/2008 11:09:21 PM -07:00

winchester blvd has lots of shopping like valley fair mall and santana row fairly close by. but the winchester mystery house is the place to go. this has got to be one of the coolest places i have been and they even offer nighttime tours on halloween. kinda creepy feel to it but very cool.

A street with lots of troubles.

7/16/2008 11:04:31 PM -07:00

Arden Way might've once been a nice street but isn't one now. There are problems everywhere you look along this road from gang related activities to vacant houses due to recent foreclosures.

Old Neighborhood in Mountain View - just 10 minutes from San Jose

7/16/2008 2:20:33 PM -07:00

This is a great street filled with houses that were built as early as the 1920's and as modern as last decade. Charming bungalows next to monster houses means you should pick your home carefully. My 1927 mother-in-law home was only 700 square feet and cost over $200,000 but that's Silicon Valley f...

Friendly street in a busy city

7/16/2008 2:11:06 PM -07:00

Shamrock Drive is very near the border of San Jose but is actually considered part of Campbell. This unincorporated area of the county consists of older family homes. The neighbors are extremely friendly, doing an annual neighborhood wide yard sale each year, with people of all ages living there. ...

close to downtown and cal trains

7/16/2008 2:04:11 PM -07:00

this was a pretty nice street when i lived here. almost bordering on the ghetto in some spots, but some surrounding areas were real nice. close to downtown and willow glen. cal trains station is only a few blocks away. also fairly close to the rose gardens and the rosicrucian museum.

Shopping & Living: Not cheap, but a lot of fun!

7/16/2008 2:04:01 PM -07:00

This shopping center isn't like most you'll see. There is a combination of residential and commercial property within the same area. You can get a townhouse or flat in the center and live where you shop! A pretty cool concept, but being in the Silicon Valley, a pretty expensive one as well.

The...

Nice vibe for tourists

Not a great place to live at any age

7/16/2008 1:50:25 PM -07:00

I lived on North 4th street for several years and cannot recommend this as a place that any one would like to reside. I should have had a clue when I saw the bars on the windows of each apartment, even the ones on the second floor!

While I was only robbed once, several of my neighbors were robbe...

Downtown Campbell- Revitalized and Refreshed

7/16/2008 1:38:26 PM -07:00

Downtown Campbell centers on East Campbell between Winchester Blvd and Campbell Park. It's about eight blocks long and two blocks wide. A lot of it has been rebuilt or newly built.

Quality living in Rancho Santa Teresa Mobile Home Estate

7/16/2008 1:17:12 PM -07:00

I've been living in this mobile home park for almost four years now. It is one of the nicest parks in San Jose that you'll find at a reasonable price. Space rent as of 2008 runs about $700 with only 3% increases each year due to rent control. The park offers a swimming pool, a club house with a p...

One of the best flea markets in the US.

7/16/2008 1:00:51 PM -07:00

Jackson Street and Taylor Street are the heart of Japantown in San Jose. They claim to be "over 100 years old and one of the last three remaining authentic historic Japantowns in the United States" so you don't want to miss it.

They have so many wonderful activities going on there. There's the ...

Great teriyaki restaurant

7/16/2008 9:24:52 AM -07:00

When I visited, I stayed right around here. There's a TON of shopping and it's an absolutely beautiful view. Of course, none of this is the best part. the best part is Tengu Sushi and Teriyaki. This was some of the best food I've ever had and if you ever have a chance, I'd suggest trying it out. It'...

Market of Museums

Second street is full of stuff to do. It's full of clubs...sports clubs, comedy clubs, nightclubs, you name it. I wouldn't recommend this area for young kids, as there's not much to do. It's right near the University so it's always chock full of people to meet and hang out with. Mostly, it's apartme...

Mostly older college students

the part of the street I visited was just across the war from an absolutely gorgeous rose garden. I can't remember the name of it, but the roses were in full bloom and I was absolutely thrilled.
