Lakeside Living in Silicon Valley: Willow Lake Apartments in San Jose

When you walk the campus of this impressive enclave of town home apartments set along meandering streams amongst Willow trees, tall grasses and shady trees, you might think you're in Nantucket or perhaps Disneyland. When you stand by the half-acre lake with waterscapes you can't help but feel relaxed & take a deep breath. But Willow Lake, a modern version of a classic New England village has amenities that the Pilgrims could only dream about.

For one, its first-class recreational and fitness facilities include an oversized spa and lap pool. If you can draw yourself out of the hot tub and are looking for something to do, Willow Lake apartments is just a short drive to SF. Why not join in one of the new Tiki Bar Crawls? Did you know there's a Polynesian Pop revival? Trader Vic's is now the hippest there is. The Bay area is still home to a remarkable number of these vintage bars. Check them out at www.tikicrawl.com. Or for fun closer to home -- less than a 1/2 mile away is Bambu Snacks & Coffee Shop. Be sure to order the halo halo. The service is friendly and the girls will recommend drinks and explain what each is. Bambu is next door to Poco -- another great dessert place if you like shaved ice or ice-cream and the place serves really delicious smoothies -- the best in San Jose. Almost everything on the menu is $3.50. And you can't live in San Jose without checking out Christmas in the Park. It's the same every year, true, but there's nothing like walking around with hot chocolate and enjoying the trees, the lights, the smiles of the kids, and festive scene. Kind of makes you feel like a kid. It's magical.

If you do have to work for a living, and most of us do, I-280, I-880, and I-680, 101, SR 85, SR 87, SR 17, and SR 237 run through San Jose. You can access the Almaden Expressway, Capitol Expressway, San Tomas Expressway, and Lawrence Expressway from the city too. If you prefer to live car-light there's always Amtrak, Caltrain (commuter rail service between San Francisco and Gilroy), ACE (commuter rail service to Pleasanton and Stockton) and a local light-rail system. VTA also operates many bus routes in San Jose and the surrounding area. Take advantage of Willow Lake apartment's proximity to San Jose State University, Santa Clara University, and you're not far from De Anza College in Cupertino, Stanford in Palo Alto, Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley in Mountain View and the University of California, Berkeley and the University of California, Santa Cruz and the University of California, Davis.
