Shasta Hanchett Park is a historic residence park and neighborhood in the greater Rose Garden district of central San Jose, California, near Downtown San Jose and The Alameda.

[1][2] Hanchett provided electric streetlights, streetcar service, and a modern sewer system.

[3] The streets were laid out by John McLaren, supervisor and designer of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco,[4] who located the utility poles in backyards to keep the sidewalks open and specified the trees to be planted 20 feet apart on each street.

[3][5] Hanchett Park contains San Jose's greatest concentration of 1910–20 Craftsman houses.

[6] Alameda Gardens was first developed in the mid-19th century by Commodore Robert F. Stockton, who ordered pre-fabricated two-story houses to be made in Philadelphia and Massachusetts and shipped to San Francisco; all were identical except for one larger house at the end of Spring Street.
