East San Jose is a neighborhood that stretches from just east of downtown San Jose all the way to the eastern foothills overlooking the city. Homes for rent here include small, single-family homes, many dating to the 1970s.

Residents here head east to the hills for outdoor recreation, taking advantage of the jogging trails around Lake Cunningham and the largest skate park in NoCal at Lake Cunningham Regional Park. Delighting in the diversity of their neighborhood, locals head to Little Saigon for an authentic bahn mi sandwich and to Little Portugal for amazing linguica. Shopping options prove easy and plentiful in this area. The Eastridge Mall provides not only retail, but also movies and bowling for an entire day of fun.
