Golf Dr, Alum Rock

Golf Drive runs parallel to the San Jose Country club, and its name indicates this location in the East Foothills. However, the bulk of Golf Drive lies not in this neighborhood, but in Alum Rock, one of the poorest, toughest neighborhoods in East San Jose. While this road may not be as bad as some of those further east, it is still tough and in the same school district. It should be noted that many neighborhoods in San Jose are subject to Little Red Riding Hood syndrom - safe-looking and attractive on the outside, but historically tough and home to a range of crimes, from home break-ins to murder.

Further west, Golf Drive extends into the East Foothills section of San Jose and is home to the San Jose Golf Club, one of the best places to book events in the area. Last year, I booked meetings in ten different major cities across the U.S., and the San Jose Country Club was one of the nicest venues and offered the best rates by far. For residents who would like to live here, particularly because they enjoy the road's namesake sport, I would stick to east of Toyon.

All of the ratings are based on the eastern part of the street. For the western part, assume fewer families and overall recommendations.

Golf Drive in San Jose, California runs right along the San Jose Country Club and is minutes away from Cimarron Park. It is a pretty nice middle class neighborhood that has a lot of nice one story houses. The houses are different but some of them are very close together. It's a pretty long street that runs through a couple of neighborhoods. The nicer houses are located behind the country club but for the most part the houses are very plain but the front yard makes up for it. The front lawns are kept very nice and there is not much noise at all. The road is kind of narrow when the cars are parked on it but besides that this is a very nice neighborhood to live in.
