What's the best/safest neighborhood to live if I'm working at IBM in San Jose?
I am doing an internship with IBM Almaden this summer. My office will be far south in San Jose. Where is the best/safest area to live with a short (5-20min) commute to work. Is living close to the light rail a good idea? If anyone can specifically comment on the area around the 85/87 intersection that would be great. It looks nice and the rents are high, but there seems to be more crime. Thanks!

The very best Neighborhood in San Jose is Willow Glen. Almaden has som very nice neighborhoods as well. San Jose Has Been Ratyed as one of the top ten safest cities in america several years in a row for population over 250,000. Just stay away from 7 trees and the south east side and you should be fine.

Where did you hear that crime was high? Crime is high on the east side - not where 85 & 87 intersect, and I mean RIGHT where they intersect. I live here in a good neighborhood and yes it is expensive. Our 3 bedroom w/ a den is $2300 a month and from what I hear and see that's a pretty good deal. Especially now-a-days with all the foreclosures rent is going up like crazy with all the high demands for rentals.
