Rivermark

Master-planned North Santa Clara living — newer townhomes and condos minutes from the tech campuses and Levi’s Stadium.

The neighborhood

Rivermark homes for sale in Santa Clara’s planned north side.

Rivermark is Santa Clara’s master-planned community in the city’s north end, built from the late 1990s onward on former orchard and industrial land near Highways 101 and 237. Its streets mix modern townhomes, condominiums and small-lot single-family homes around community parks, with Rivermark Plaza’s shops handling daily needs.

Buyers choose Rivermark for newer construction and commute math: the tech campuses of North San Jose, Sunnyvale and Mountain View sit minutes away, and Levi’s Stadium is practically next door. The Santa Clara Unified School District serves local families, including Don Callejon School in the neighborhood. Sellers trade on turnkey condition and a location that rents as easily as it sells.
