San Jose is conveniently located just 50 miles from San Francisco, 60 miles from Monterey, and a mere 30 miles from the famous surfing beaches of Santa Cruz. San Jose puts you right in the middle of it all.

There is a new energy to San Jose these days and the sense of something big underway beyond technology news including lots of growth, a swinging arts scene, trendy nightlife and shopping, and an awesome array of recreation. It is the kind of buzz that happens when a city has the wind at its back, and the combined momentum of growth and innovation apart from its Silicon Valley heritage.
