Oakridge & Foxchase, San Jose Homes for sale, recent sales and a Property Nerd’s guide

Foxchase Dr is the main residential street north of Blossom Hill Rd, between the river and Almaden Expwy: about 95 houses on lots of roughly 7,000 sq ft, built on 1983 sewer mains, with Sanchez Dr's smaller lots beside it. Blossom River Way, Blossom River Dr and Winfield Blvd carry larger multifamily parcels. South of Blossom Hill Rd the tract streets begin on both sides of Santa Teresa Blvd: Hillview Ave, El Dori Dr, El Lisa Dr, Halleck Dr, Furlong Dr, Garlough Dr and the Renton, Tallman and Hedlund courts, with Summerbrook Ln and Ct and Steinbeck Dr near the school.

Below the point where Allen Ave meets Santa Teresa Blvd, a strip of late-1960s streets runs along the foot of the hills: Maclay Dr, Foothill Glen Dr and Ct, Sanford Dr, Fernglen Dr, Hillrose Dr and the Afton, Paxton, Susan and Pietz courts, with Foothill Dr as the south edge. El Zuparko Dr, near Hillview Ave, is a cluster of about 70 small-lot parcels from 1968-1969, the kind of map that usually means attached homes under a homeowners association.

On the county parcel map, single-lot homes mostly sit on about 6,200 to 8,300 sq ft. Zoning is a mix on the city's map: about a third of the land is planned-development zoning, about a tenth is R-1-8 single-family, and commercial zoning covers parts of Blossom Hill Rd. Expect original ranch and split-level plans on the 1960s streets and two-story plans on Foxchase Dr; check permit history for additions.
