Update!

House prices in San Jose have increased 25% since we purchased 2 years ago.

Now planning early retirement in September 2018. Doing a Preview in early April.

Lifestyle visit starting on Friday. Narrowed our house list to 6. This was difficult.

Any must visit restaurants?

Hello Villagers,

We visited The Villages two weeks ago. Looks like a great place to retire.

Originally from the North Shore of Mass. Doing the high tech tour: Boston-> Austin-> Boston -> Austin -> San Jose. God willing, hoping to retire within 3 years. Save me a house.

Happy Holidays to all!

Tom

Our son lives in Los Altos Hills. You will love having everything - recreation centers, golf courses, pools, restaurants, stores, medical facilities so accessible particularly by golf cart. The traffic is horrendous out there and the interstates/freeways are stressful. Love to come home to the bubble - beautifully landscaped and so easy to navigate.

Bought a house in Fenney during our visit. Moving there the end of May.

Congratulations, tom_sjc. You'll love it here. Were you able to move up your retirement date or will you be part timers for a while?

I'm originally from the Santa Clara Valley but left in the mid-80s and must say I do not miss it!

Welcome fellow Californian. We visit San Jose and Santa Cruz yearly.
