'First Fest' celebrates region's innovative, historical [at The 88]

San Jose is the third largest city in the state, the fourth safest city in America and among the top 100 most expensive places to pay property taxes, buy lunch or park your car.

I know San Jose is considered one of the top largest, and safest city in the country. In recent years, there has been a lots of efforts to further improve the downtown scenery and atmosphere the with some new highrise resident likeTHE88 and others.

Hi Cde, The link I added below is what I use in my initial search for my clients. I hope this will help you determine if you will be considering this neighborhood or directing your focus elsewhere.

Cde,

One of the best resources for issues of safety is the local police department or county sheriff's department. They have access to the most current and accurate information and are generally very willing to be helpful.

Good luck
