Neighborhood

Sun-drenched Ponderosa Park provides a lovely setting in the Silicon Valley with its well-established homes perched on beautifully-manicured lawns. But there's more to this neighborhood than its pretty surroundings. Ponderosa Park is bordered by two major roadways -- El Camino Real and the Lawrence Expressway -- for fast commutes to nearby San Jose, just 11 miles southeast. At its heart, the community park that shares the neighborhood's name provides a gathering place for residents with its picnic areas, playground, and basketball, volleyball, and tennis courts.

Golfers appreciate having Sunken Gardens Golf Course right in the neighborhood, while shoppers enjoy the stores and restaurants that line El Camino Real. Football fans will love having Levi's Stadium -- home of the San Francisco 49ers -- only about four miles northeast. Adventurers will appreciate being just a short drive from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Redwoods, and the Pacific Ocean.

Remodeled, Affordable, Closed to All Businesses,

We relocated to the high tech area for work. Everywhere we looked, apartment units were expensive. The unit was brand new construction - kitchen cabinets, appliances, flooring, wall, lighting paint, etc. Management said it was under new ownership and remodeled all units. It was the best price for the valley area. My wife doesnt drive so it was great to be close to many restaurants and grocery stores. Management fixed our kitchen leak within 24 hours and notified us of any complex improvements with ample notice. We moved after two years due to work, but I recommend anyone relocating to the area to seek small complexes that are remodeled for affordable housing.

Autocratic Management

Our apartment is infested by cockroaches. The management have done several fumigation for the past years but nothing solved the problem. We also don't have AC so my two kids are suffering during the summer. Management/owner is also autocratic. She is rude and inconsiderate with us. She have raised our rent a couple of times with a very short notice. And now she is saying that she will have the apartment reconstructed so we will be forced to leave and we have to sign a new contract if we wish to come back with a much more higher rate which is very unfair and unreasonable.
