Naglee Park (San Jose)Naglee Park is a residential neighborhood near downtown San Jose, California and San Jose State University. The general boundaries of the neighborhood are Santa Clara Street, 11th Street, Interstate 280, and Coyote Creek. Much of the Naglee Park neighborhood was developed on the grounds of the estate of Civil War Brig. General Henry Morris Naglee. The Naglee estate was famous for its gardens and vineyards. In 1902, nearly 20 years after General Naglee's death, the estate was subdivided to form the Naglee Park neighborhood. Many of the homes in Naglee Park were built for early Santa Clara Valley professionals and have historical significance. In the 1950s through 1970s, the neighborhood was heavily impacted by growth of the University and downtown. Many of the larger homes were converted into apartments or board and care facilities. During the 1990s and 2000s, however, the neighborhood has experienced a revival, with many of the converted homes being fixed up and returned to single family dwellings. Today, Naglee Park is one of the most livable neighborhoods in San Jose.
