Palm Haven, San Jose

Palm Haven is a historic residence park and neighborhood in the Willow Glen district of San Jose, California.

The center of the neighborhood contains a plaza planted in a formal style creating sight lines and symmetry.

Common to Residence Parks, Palm Haven had a set of conditions, covenants and restrictions that controlled what was built, a minimum cost, property setbacks, and racial exclusions.

The neighborhood is largely intact today as its palm trees are now fully grown at approximately 100 feet tall.
