The Villages Golf and Country Club in the Evergreen neighborhood of San Jose is a 1,200 acre gated community of independent living for people fifty five years and older. It is composed of 2,309 condominiums, 227 single family homes, an 18 hole championship golf course, 4 swimming pools, 465 acres of open space with hiking trails and parks, 6 tennis courts, horse stables, 2 restaurants, and many man made lakes and walking/bike paths.
It is a one of a kind community for "retirement living" in the Silicon Valley. While there are other places where you can own your own senior home or condo in the area, no other place has this much land or as many activities on the west side of the bay. There is Rossmoor in Walnut Creek in the East Bay, but the Villages in San Jose is a unique "retirement" living situation for people over 55 in the Silicon Valley. I say "retirement" because there are many people who live in The Villages who are not retired but enjoy living in an adult only community.
The condominiums come in 2 styles. Some are single level attached homes with direct entrance from the street or garage. Others are two story with someone above or below you and a small set of stairs to the front door, either going up or down. If the occupant develops mobility problems while living there they can have an electric chair installed to get them into their home.
All of the homes, whether condos or single family homes have no more than 2 bedrooms, but some do have dens.
The views can be golf course, lake, hills, open space, or rarely other homes. Even if the view is another home there is always some amount of greenery to be seen, along with deer, wild turkeys, and many other species of birds.
The size of the homes ranges from about 650 square feet to over 2500 square feet.
Right now there are 11 homes on the market ranging in price from $290,000 to $659,000.
