Willow Glen Home Values
& 1% Listing Fee
Willow Glen unfolds south of downtown San Jose, loosely bounded by the Guadalupe River and Highway 87 to the east and Los Gatos Creek to the west, anchored by the village stretch of Lincoln Avenue. Its streets are lined with 1920s–1940s Spanish, Tudor, and Craftsman bungalows on walkable, tree-canopied blocks. Values here are driven hardest by proximity to Lincoln Avenue's shops and cafés and by the coveted Booksin and Willow Glen elementary attendance zones, where character homes with period detail and updated systems command the neighborhood's strongest per-square-foot pricing.
