Campbell, California
One of California’s first mixed-use developments — shopping, dining, fitness and condos around the landmark Pruneyard center.
The neighborhood
The Pruneyard grew out of one of California’s earliest mixed-use developments in the 1960s and has matured into a premier dining, shopping and fitness destination at South Bascom Avenue and East Campbell Avenue.
Housing here leans toward condominiums, townhomes and apartments — many with the center’s restaurants, offices and services effectively at the doorstep. It’s a high-energy alternative to historic downtown, about a half-mile away.
Walkability, honestly
The Pruneyard area is built for life without a car for daily needs: the shopping center’s dining and services, the Hamilton light rail station and nearby parks are all close. Freeway access via SR-17 and SR-85 keeps the rest of Silicon Valley quick.
