Evergreen Estates & Meadowlands, San Jose Homes for sale, recent sales and a Property Nerd’s guide

The Estates blocks sit just east of San Felipe Rd below Yerba Buena Rd, on short streets that carry the name: Park Estates Way, Silver Estates, Knights Estates, Harvest Estates, Willow Estates, King Estates and Shadow Estates, with Sunny Creek Dr and Sunny Orchard Ln nearby. The city's tract layer shows tracts of 171 and 129 lots here. Evergreen Park and the Evergreen Community Center anchor the north end at 4860 San Felipe Rd.

South along San Felipe Rd, the Meadowlands streets (Meadowlands Ln, Royal Meadow Ln, High Meadow Ln, Grand Meadow Ln, Scenic Meadow Ln) and the 1996 tracts on Running Springs Rd, Heartland Way and Castle Canyon Way climb toward the open hills, with Scenic Meadows park and the Richmond Ranch open-space parcels between them. These are single-family tract streets; much of the land is zoned planned development, and about 39% of the outline sits outside the city's Urban Growth Boundary as hillside.

The Villages fills the middle, entered from The Villages Pkwy off San Felipe Rd, with The Villages Fairway Dr running through it and streets such as Lake Albano Cir, Wine Valley Cir, Chenin Blanc Ln and Riesling Way. It is private and gated, so its streets are not public, and its recorded CC&Rs set an age rule that buyers should read. All the developed land in this guide is City of San Jose; the open ridge land to the east (about 30% of the outline) and the east end of Villa Vista Rd are unincorporated Santa Clara County land, with county planning and permits.
