Types of apartment in San Jose, CA
San Jose apartments range from older low-rise buildings to large newer complexes. Around Downtown, Japantown, Midtown, and The Alameda, you can find 1920s to 1960s buildings with brick, wood siding, or plain stucco exteriors. Many have exterior walkways, small courtyards, and carports instead of enclosed garages. Inside, layouts can be compact, and closets and kitchen storage can vary. In Willow Glen and Rose Garden, houses for rent often sit on tree-lined streets and may have ranch-style or cottage exteriors, detached garages, and small porches.North San Jose, Berryessa, and parts of Evergreen have many newer apartments with stucco finishes, gated entries, parking structures, and shared amenity areas.

South San Jose often has more townhouse-style rentals and single-family houses with driveways and fenced yards. Across the city, rent can vary with building age, parking setup, and how close apartments are to VTA light rail, Diridon Station, or major roads like 280 and 101.
