With its central location, excellent transit connections, and eclectic vibe, Central San Jose offers a lifestyle that’s both urban and easygoing.
Housing and Neighborhood Character
Homes in Central San Jose reflect the city’s long history and evolving skyline.

Many properties feature inviting front porches, mature trees, and backyard spaces ideal for entertaining. With strong rental demand and proximity to major employers, housing here appeals to both long-term residents and investors.
Schools and Education
Central San Jose is served primarily by San José Unified School District, offering well-regarded programs and magnet schools. Families also have access to a number of private and parochial options, including Presentation High School and St. Patrick School. The presence of San José State University gives the neighborhood a vibrant, intellectual energy—residents can attend lectures, enjoy performances, or take continuing-education classes just minutes from home.
Dining, Cafés, and Nightlife
Food lovers thrive here. Central San Jose’s restaurant scene is wonderfully diverse—everything from authentic taquerias to trendy bistros, Vietnamese noodle houses, and modern American eateries.

“WOW! We have nothing but awesome things to say about Seb. Since we are not from Milpitas, CA, we did a google search for realtors in that area. We’re so glad that Seb called back right away, even though he was at an open house at the time. He took care of our every need without hesitation. When we had our first in person meeting with Seb, we were amazed at how comfortable we felt with him. He also took all the time to answer all our questions in an understandable, relaxed manner. If you are looking for a no ka oi (the best) realtor in the bay area, that is a team player, Seb is the man! In closing: 5 stars is not a high enough rating for Seb. We give him a 10 stars rating!!!!!”

“Seb jumped in to help us sell our rural / unique property after a bad experience with another agent and helped us SO MUCH! We felt really lost, confused, and worried - and Seb turned the entire experience around. He is the right combo of analytical & creative, and has a very strategic, pragmatic, and honest way of working. I love his enthusiasm and optimism even in a tough market. He takes care of everything for you which relieved so much stress as a seller. If you're looking for someone you can trust to help you navigate this process, Seb is your guy, hands down.”

“We had a wonderful time working with Seb during the home buying process. He’s an incredible agent and exactly who you want representing you. He’s knowledgeable, determined and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. We appreciated how he always went the extra mile for us, filming video tours of homes when we weren’t immediately available to see them in person. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent. Thank you Seb!”

“Seb is a wonderful agent! Over the summer we found out that we had to sell my parents' house sooner than expected. Seb jumped in immediately and handled all aspects of the sale during a very busy time in our lives. The house sold in less than 3 weeks and we were very happy with the offer. When we're ready to sell our house, we'll be calling Seb.”

“Best realtor in California. He's honest, considerate and just a good guy. He knows the market & he knows houses...!!”

“It was a pleasure working with Seb to sell our condo in downtown San Jose. As first time home sellers, we didn’t know what to expect. Seb talked us through pivotal decisions related to getting the condo ready for market, pricing, waiting for offers, and the negotiations of offers. We appreciated his knowledge, tact, and humor. Further, it felt very much like a concierge service, where we did not have to deal with the minutia and were looped in for critical decisions. Looking forward to connecting again on our next real estate encounter.”

“Seb exceeded our expectations in both the selling of one property and the purchase of another. He was very focused on what was best for us. He is a modern realtor who is on top of the market, uses technology and local data to help make the best moves and decisions. I was pleasantly surprised about how responsive he was whether by texts, phone calls or emails. My biggest kudo however is how he kept us focused on our goals in our transactions. While it's easy to get distracted by all of the "shiny objects" that are a part of the business, he would steer us back to what we wanted to accomplish...and we did! We couldn't have had a better experience and are very glad to recommend Seb to anyone that wants excellence from a realtor.”

“Seb is an amazing real estate professional! He is truly passionate and knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the properties, agreements and rules and regulations... Recently, Seb saved me a big trouble with his valuable step-by-step guidance, whereas a real estate lawyer could have made the situation way more complicated and costly. I know many realtors, but Seb is the only one I would 100% trust and rely on.”
