This means a larger financial savings to the buyer.

An easily overlooked benefit of buying a West San Jose Lynbrook High Home on a busy street is the easier commute. Although an inside street may be quieter, it will almost always take an extra 5 minutes to get from that quiet street to a busy street that can speedily get you to your destination.
One great benefit of the West San Jose area is its easy proximity to both highways and expressways, including Highways 85, 280 and 880. Expressways such as San Tomas and Lawrence are also nearby and easily accessible.

In the Lynbrook High Homes area of West San Jose there are only a small handful of streets with significant traffic – Miller, Johnson, Prospect and Bollinger.

For example, 6312 Bollinger is right across the street from the Safeway grocery store at Orchard Farm Shopping Center. When you need extra items for dinner, you, your teenage children or even a kind neighbor can just walk across the street to purchase additional items for the meal.
Orchard Farm Shopping Center also includes the Chinese Performing Artists of America Studio, Subway Sandwiches, Café Addria Coffee Shop, Jennie’s Dollar Store, White Wings Salon, Calabazas Cyclery and more.
