  River Oaks Village, located in the business and industrial park area of north San Jose, California consists of a mix of 2,000 condominium and apartment homes and 5,000 square feet of neighborhood serving retail on 75 acres with an overall density of 26.6 units per acre. The undeveloped R&D/Industrial zoned property was converted to a state-of-the-art, multi-faceted residential village. River Oaks Village was the first project in California to demonstrate the viability of
transit-oriented high density housing in a predominantly industrial area. Through a cooperative process involving Shea Homes, the City of San Jose and the San Jose Redevelopment Agency, the project was designed to provide much needed close-in for-sale and rental housing. The village was planned with seven distinct villages linked together with a well planned pedestrian paseo system that encouraged movement between the villages as well as to the new light rail system. The 2,000 homes consisted of 1,170 apartments, 650 market rate townhomes and 180 affordable condominiums.
