Shasta Hanchett Park
McLaren's 1907 curved-street design — Craftsman, Colonial Revival, and Spanish Eclectic.
Shasta Hanchett Park homes for sale occupy one of San Jose’s most architecturally distinctive neighborhoods, laid out in 1907 by John McLaren — the same landscape architect who designed San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. His signature curved streets, rather than the usual grid, give the neighborhood a garden-suburb feel almost unique in the South Bay.
Housing stock matches the early-1900s pedigree: Craftsman bungalows, Colonial Revival, and Spanish Eclectic homes on gracious lots. The neighborhood sits adjacent to the Rose Garden area and within easy walking distance of The Alameda retail corridor. Bellarmine College Prep (private) and Abraham Lincoln High School (public, via SJUSD) serve the area.
Prices typically run $1.5M to $2.5M depending on size and condition. The McLaren-designed street pattern and early-20th-century architecture make Shasta Hanchett Park a favorite of buyers specifically seeking character and walkable historic neighborhoods — a small, tightly held market.
