Silver Creek Valley Country Club

Silver Creek Valley Country Club is a gated, master planned community in the foothills of southeast San Jose, in the 95138 ZIP code above Silver Creek Valley Road and Highway 101. It is a distinct place from the broader Silver Creek area around it, and the difference is substantial: guarded gates, a homeowners association, a private golf club at the center and a price tier well above most of the surrounding neighborhoods.

The Club and the Community

The community was built around an 18 hole championship course that opened in the early 1990s, with an original design by Ted Robinson. The Silver Creek Valley Country Club itself is private and member owned, with a clubhouse on Country Club Parkway, dining, tennis and pickleball courts, aquatics and wellness programs. Most homes went up through the 1990s and 2000s, so the streets, landscaping and amenities have had time to mature.

Anyone considering a purchase here should understand the structure before anything else. The homeowners association and the club are separate, and club membership comes in several categories, from full golf to social, each with its own initiation and dues. Some attached homes also sit in sub associations whose dues cover the roof, exterior and grounds. That belongs at the start of a conversation rather than in escrow, and I go through the association and club documents carefully for any client I represent here.

Silver Creek Valley Country Club Homes

The housing spans a wide range, roughly 1,500 single family homes plus a smaller collection of condominiums and townhomes. You will find attached homes around 2,000 square feet, family homes on the hillside streets, and large custom estates along the ridgelines that can run well into the millions. That range is useful for downsizers, since a gated community with a real mix of housing types is rare on this side of the city.

The setting is the appeal: hillside streets above the valley floor, views across San Jose toward the Santa Cruz Mountains, and the golf course running through the middle of it all. The terrain is the trade off, so the specific lot, driveway and approach matter as much as the floor plan when you are planning for the long run.

Schools Serving Silver Creek Valley Country Club

Most addresses fall in the Evergreen Elementary School District, with Silver Oak Elementary and Chaboya Middle School serving much of the community, and high school in the East Side Union High School District at Silver Creek High. Assignment depends on the parcel and I verify it on every listing rather than assuming.

Shopping, Recreation and Getting Around

Everyday shopping is a short drive away, with Evergreen Village Square to the north and Eastridge Center beyond it. Lake Cunningham Regional Park, Evergreen Valley College and the trails of the Diablo Range foothills are all a short drive, and Joseph D. Grant County Park, nearly ten thousand acres of ranch land and trails, is reachable by way of Mount Hamilton Road.

Highway 101 is a few minutes down the hill, with Highways 85 and 680 close behind, which makes North San Jose and the Peninsula a freeway run. This is a car oriented community, and the commute up 101 at rush hour is the thing most buyers ask me about first.

Is Silver Creek Valley Country Club a Good Fit for Downsizers?

It can be, mainly because of the attached homes and the security that comes with a guarded gate. Single story plans exist but are not the norm on the hillside streets, so I filter carefully for one level living and for driveways that will still feel easy in fifteen years. Nothing is walkable in the usual sense, and the HOA and any club dues need to fit the long term budget. My condo and HOA red flags checklist covers what to review.

The city’s Active Adults 50 and Over program runs at the Evergreen Community Center, and Kaiser Permanente’s San Jose Medical Center on Cottle Road and Regional Medical Center are the closest hospitals. For owners here who want to stay on this side of town but stop managing a large hillside property, The Villages, the gated 55 and over community in the Evergreen foothills, is close enough that a move feels like staying. If you are 55 or older, Proposition 19 may let you take your current property tax base with you.

The Silver Creek Valley Country Club Housing Market

Redfin does not track the community on its own, so the closest measure is the ZIP code. According to Redfin’s 95138 market data, the median sale price over the three months ending September 2026 was about $1.61 million, down 2.1 percent from a year earlier, with homes selling in a median of about 16 days. Country club homes trade above that ZIP figure and on their own terms, with view, lot and golf course frontage mattering as much as square footage. My San Jose area guide covers the rest of the city, and nearby Evergreen is the natural comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions About Silver Creek Valley Country Club

Selling in a gated country club community means reaching a specific and well advised buyer pool, and it carries the tax consequences that come with a substantial property and long ownership. Between capital gains and what Proposition 19 now means for passing property to children, the planning deserves real attention, and that is the work I do with older adults and their families.
