Yesterday, my clients and I met the property inspector at their new purchase, which they describe as a "turn of the century-eclectic." It's the architectural equivalent of a mixed breed dog that has more personality than one with a pedigree. The Naglee Park neighborhood in San Jose where it is located is like a small town in the Midwest instead of part of a major California city.
I was sitting on the front porch to get some sun...the house was very cold inside before the inspector turned on the heat...and while I was out there, several neighbors stopped by to meet the new owners, so I called for them to come outside, too. One man was walking his dog, another couple was pushing a baby carriage, and a third family was accompanying a little girl who was selling Girl Scout cookies. (My clients bought two boxes of thin mints.) The street in Palo Alto where my son Daniel lives with his family is very much like that, too. Block parties, get-togethers, etc. What a great place to live!

Read your blog regarding Naglee Park!This neighborhood has maintained a great reputation as the "Palo Alto" neighborhood south of San Antonio Road it was always questioned by many if there was really life south of San Antonio road in years past.. This enclave of vintage homes was the first residence park in San Jose the archetecture is stunning and you can see the centurys pass by as you walk from E.Santa Clara Street up to Margaret it is a architectural gem. You can walk across the San Jose State Campus and be at Cinema 1,Original Joes,Gordon Bierch,PF Changs and have drinks at the Fairmont? Where else can you walk to the Fairmont Hotel?? Shhh...don't tell too many people how wonderful Naglee Park is our homes have been selling with multiple offers at full price and over the last year at a lot less then Palo Alto prices. Plus Palo Alto doesnt have a Fairmont!!!
