Located at 98 N 1st St in downtown San Jose, California, this stylish single-floor communal space offers a generous, open-plan layout combining a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious living and lounge area. Soaring ceilings throughout amplify the sense of openness, while light-toned herringbone hardwood flooring adds warmth and visual continuity across the entire floor. The kitchen is a standout feature, anchored by a large central island with a white quartz countertop and integrated sink. Dark wood cabinetry lines the perimeter, complemented by stainless steel appliances including a full-size refrigerator, range, and oven. An elegant multi-arm chandelier overhead adds a refined touch. A vibrant mosaic tile accent wall in the dining area adds color and texture, serving as a bold backdrop for casual seating arrangements. The living area is thoughtfully curated with mid-century modern furnishings, including structured wood-framed armchairs, a plush sofa, and layered area rugs in warm, earthy tones. A wall-mounted flat-screen TV and tall built-in shelving provide both function and style. A pool table positioned near floor-to-ceiling windows invites recreation, while sheer drapery filters abundant natural light and frames views of the surrounding outdoor greenery.

San Jose’s Northside neighborhood shares a border with Roosevelt Park and Japantown, yet it provides classic Californian scenery for renters who want to be close to Downtown San Jose without sacrificing space and style. Charming bungalows fill the tree-lined streets, and locals walk to and from work and errands thanks to the area’s fantastic walkability. Backesto Park sits in the center of Northside, and is a perfect way to spend an afternoon in the city’s mild climate.
Indian, Mexican, and American cuisine can be found within Northside, and all the amenities and trendy spots in the downtown area are just minutes away. Take one of the many interstates that surround San Jose and you can be in Palo Alto or San Francisco in just an hour.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
