Burbank is one of San Jose’s many “urban islands,” small unincorporated communities that are completely surrounded by San Jose and technically aren’t a part of the city. Burbank has a strong sense of community with an active neighborhood association. The neighborhood has mid-range to upscale rentals and residents here don’t have to pay city taxes. Housing options in Burbank include quaint bungalows, craftsmen-style houses, and mid-rise apartments.
Burbank is certainly a great option for renters seeking an area with a small-town atmosphere, but residents also enjoy the advantages of the neighborhood’s central location. Burbank is convenient to several restaurants and shopping centers including Westfield Valley Fair and Santana Row. San Jose City College is located directly south of Burbank while Santa Clara University is about two miles north for those who want to be close to campus. Burbank is only three miles west of Downtown San Jose as well.
