The 95129 zip code and school districts
The school district situation is a little confusing in San Jose CA 95129, but as schools are a major driver of real estate values, it’s imperative to consider their impact on housing prices.
- About 60% of this zip code is in the Fremont Union High School District (Lynbrook High) and in the Cupertino Union School District (several different schools)
- The rest is in the Campbell Union High School District (Prospect High), with most of that area in the Moreland School District, but a little bit in the Campbell Union School District (several schools)
- On Great Schools, the scores for these schools range from 4 or 5 on the low end to 10 on the high side.
Here’s a map that I’ve marked up. The initial map came from the MLS, which shows the approximate zip code boundaries (bright blue) and the high school district boundary (purple or berry colored). These are never 100% precise, always check with the school district to be sure about the assigned school or district.
In the upper right corner you can see a tiny little polygon, almost a square, for the part of 95129 with Campbell Union School District. Moreland schools are mainly on the southeast side of the zip code. Cupertino schools are on the far west and northern section, except for that postage stamp area with Campbell schools.
The homes with Moreland and Campbell schools sell at lower prices than those with Cupertino schools, making them more affordable and also very desirable as a close in commute location.
The homes in San Jose with Cupertino schools sell for less than those houses in the City of Cupertino with the exact same schools, making this pocket a relative bargain, too.
No matter which district you’re considering, most of this area is a good ‘bang for the buck’ part of the valley.

Today we’ll consider the real estate market activity for houses in this area today and in relation to recent history as of today, July 18, 2023, and looking at sales data for the last 60 days.
In the last 60 days, there were 29 single family homes sold in this zip code. Of them, 15 were “starter homes”, meaning that they have 1500 SF or less. Here is the data for the starter homes in all school districts of this zip code area:
- Days on market – 13
- Average square footage – 1392 SF
- Average lot size – 6227 SF
- Average list price – $2,035,056
- Average sale price – $2,294,453
- Average age of the home – 62 years
- Average sale to list price ratio – 113% (range of 94% to 138%)

- Average price per SF – $1,328.70
Normally I don’t love using the price per SF as a gauge of what things cost, but these homes are all similar in age and size, so as a quick reference, I think it’s pretty useful. Or use the average sale price. Both are impactful. For larger homes, the price per SF will be a little less.
