Nicknamed "the capital of Silicon Valley" for its innovative and diverse culture, San Jose is a sprawling culmination of large tech companies and suburban neighborhoods. With its close proximity to Silicon Valley's biggest tech players (Google and Apple), San Jose has solidified its position as a haven for tech workers and their families. The metropolitan areas offer more off-the beaten path attractions like the 160-room, Winchester Mystery House; a 120-acre flea market complete with ponies; and a larger-than-life Monopoly board.
Commute
The Caltrain offers a public transportation option for some commuters living outside the city proper and many tech companies operate convenient shuttles to their campuses for employees, and bike infrastructure is continuing to make inroads. But most San Joseans still rely heavily on cars to get from point A to B.
