Where is Willow Glen?
Willow Glen is a district of San Jose, California. It doesn’t have exact boundaries–it’s almost a state of mind. It’s roughly 3 miles southwest of downtown San Jose, and includes all of the original town of Willow Glen (founded in 1927 and annexed by San Jose in 1936), along with many adjacent areas that have developed since then. The traditional boundaries of Willow Glen are the Guadalupe River, Los Gatos Creek, and Coe and Curtner Avenues, though many adjacent areas are usually included today. “Downtown Willow Glen” is on Lincoln Avenue, generally between Coe and Minnesota Avenues.

The Willow Glen Neighborhood Association (WGNA) generally concentrates its efforts for local matters in an area roughly bounded by Interstate I-280 on the north to Foxworthy Avenue on the south, and from Leigh to the Guadalupe Freeway (California highway 87), with some of the corner areas more closely associated with neighboring associations.
