Homes for Sale in Hidden Lake Milpitas, CA

Hidden Lake is a sliver of Milpitas that’s best described as a picturesque neighborhood surrounding a small lake, offering unexpected tranquility within Milpitas’ suburban sprawl. Its peaceful environment belies its proximity to transport, shopping and entertainment destinations making Hidden Lake a much sought-after location. Its’ southern edge is bounded by Calaveras Boulevard running east –west providing quick access to restaurants & shops, as well as intersecting the I-680 and I-880 for easy connections to the rest of Silicon Valley.  

LAYOUT & NEIGHBORHOOD

Hidden Lake is an older, well-established community. Its’ main draw for buyers is Hidden Lake’s well-designed homes surrounded by trees & greenery with relatively generous lot areas and floor plans. Here you can find single-detached homes with backyards perfect for entertaining. And depending on where the lot is located, there could be no rear neighbors offering you more privacy. Some even have 2-car garages providing convenience or extra storage space. Duets/duplexes/ semi-detached homes are also popular listings with slightly lower price points than the single-detached homes. Occasionally, original homes with good design structures (high ceilings, open floor plans, plenty of natural light) come into the market needing remodeling which buyers view as a major opportunity to imprint their own design for their residence, or as a Milpitas real estate investment for remodel and resale.

Hidden Lake has low HOAs covering maintenance of front and backyard landscaping, home exteriors, access to the community pool and walking trails. This has greatly contributed to keeping the Hidden Lake neighborhood well-maintained and attractive to potential buyers.  

Parents with young families would be pleased to know that Hidden Lake is less than 2 miles near highly-rated public schools under the Milpitas Unified School District (MUSD).
