Milpitas is divided into three sections by Interstates 680 and 880. To the west of I-880 is a largely industrial and commercial area. Between I-880 and its eastern counterpart freeway, I-680, is an industrial zone in the south and residential neighborhoods in the north. Other residential neighborhoods and undeveloped mountains lie east of I-680. The history of Milpitas goes back to the 1800’s when Milpitas served as a popular rest stop for travelers on the old Oakland−San Jose Highway. At the north side of the intersection of that road with the Milpitas-Alviso Road, for many years stood “French’s Hotel” that had been originally built by Alex Anderson.
Residents of Milpitas are anxiously waiting for the completion of The Bart Stations allowing for easier traffic and commute to San Francisco!
In reality, Milpitas has no concentrated downtown “center,” but instead has several small retail centers generally located near residential developments and anchored by a supermarket. The so-called “Midtown” area, the oldest part of Milpitas, has few remaining historic residences and was the only commercial district that existed before 1945. Midtown is situated in the region where Main and Abel Streets run parallel to each other bordered by Montague Expressway in the south and Weller Street at the north end.
Top schools isn’t the only reason why Milpitas home values have appreciated nearly 75% since 2000, residents enjoy open trails, parks, hiking and much more!
