The Grad puts you right where San Jose's student life is happening. Sitting on E San Carlos Street, you're just one block from San José State University's main entrance and minutes from the heart of downtown. Less time spent getting across town means more time to focus on what actually matters during college. Whether you're heading to class, meeting friends out, or keeping your routine tight during the week, everything is within reach. 

 

Around Downtown San Jose

Downtown San Jose is shaped by the energy of Silicon Valley and the students who call it home, and you feel it most on the streets right outside your door. San Pedro Square and the SoFA District set the tone with a dense, arts-forward mix of restaurants, bars, and live entertainment, while spots like La Victoria Taqueria, Petiscos, and Il Fornaio are steps from your front door for a quick bite between classes.

Campus Life, Elevated 

As an SJSU student, the campus energy here is real. From the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library to everyday moments on campus lawns and study spots, there's always something happening. The Grad gives you a central place to come home to, no matter where your day starts.

Near Everything That Matters

Class, coffee, food, and a night out are all within easy reach. Plaza de Cesar Chavez is a short walk away, hosting concerts and events throughout the year, while the San Jose Museum of Art and The Tech Interactive give you an easy dose of culture between classes. Over on South First Street, the SoFA District's galleries, music venues, and nightlife keep things active throughout the week.

Built for the San Jose Lifestyle

Right in the middle of Silicon Valley, downtown San Jose continues to evolve alongside its student population, with new restaurants, coffee shops, and entertainment venues opening throughout the SoFA District and around San Pedro Square. Nearby, SAP Center hosts concerts and Sharks games, making it just as easy to catch a show as it is to study for finals. Whether this is your first time living off campus or you've been doing it for a few years, The Grad is the upgrade you've been looking for. Close to campus, connected to the places you actually spend time, and built to make the most of your college years.
