    "Since covid, not many events are held. Everyone usually keeps to themselves, busy with work, I assume. The farmers market in Campbell is a cute event put on every Sunday, but since they moved it from downtown Campbell to the community center, it’s not as nice. "

    "Great middle school and huge park just down the street, library nearby, police and fire departments nearby, downtown Campbell is the go to place in the San Jose area right now, it’s better than Los Gatos which is famous for being tops with nightly entertainment. The list goes on and on. Campbell is centrally located and access to HWY 17, 280, 85 are minutes away. It’s an incredible place...find a way to live here if you can!"

    "Traffic is generally way TOO FAST! There is not enough Campbell PD visibility to control the cars racing down many of the narrow residential streets. It always surprises me there are not a lot of car/pedestrian incidents around here. Example: West Rincon is like a drag strip, everyone thinks it’s a short cut to avoid the Campbell Ave./Hamilton intersection. I have absolutely no doubt quite a few exceed 50...60...+++mph. Delivery trucks in particular are scary as they have no way to stop in time to avoid people and cars pulling out. Many, many elderly people and children cross this street due to the middle school and assisted living facilities on/near this freeway. I’ve always wanted to get a speed gun to record the ridiculous rates most cars fly down this street! Not really sure I want to know though, as I wrote this a number of cars raced by...it never ends!"

    "Small-town feel, but with great food, interesting shops, regular events like the farmers’s market. Everything within reach. Great VTA connection points and terminal. What’s not to like about Campbell? I do wish we could have an actual grocery store on Campbell Ave. It could be one of those cute, hyper-organic high-priced grocers, so long as it sells milk, eggs, and fresh veggies."

Leisurely 5 minute walk to "historic downtown Campbell" with its many restaurants, cafes, specialty shops, library, etc. Campbell Plaza shopping center within walking distance with Safeway superstore and Cinelux Theaters. Campbell Middle School and well-maintained, safe, well-patrolled, John D Morgan Park at end of block with baseball diamonds, Campbell Little League park, soccer fields, large picnic grounds with barbeques and children's playgrounds and walking paths."
