Campbell

Welcome to Campbell

A quiet and eclectic residential community with big-city amenities

One of the most sought-after suburbs of San Jose, Campbell caters to various lifestyles, from young professionals and technology industry giants to retirees and growing families. Its proximity to Silicon Valley and small-town atmosphere make it an ideal destination to find that perfect life-work balance. You'll find an abundance of public parks and preserved open spaces. Downtown is lined with great eateries, chic cafes, and trendy bars. You'll also find a lively arts and culture scene and vibrant nightlife.

Campbell is often called “Orchard City” because it was once an agricultural center where abundant fruits grew and canning factories prospered. Today, the orchards and factories have been replaced with homes and other businesses. It's still a primarily residential community, unlike the surrounding tech-heavy areas. It's centrally located and provides an easy commute to the rest of Silicon Valley and San Francisco.
