The neighborhood has the classic front porches from years gone by where their owners and family sit on a warm summer evening greeting those who are strolling down the sidewalks with a friendly "hello". The historic downtown on between Minnesota Avenue and Willow Street offers many family oriented restaurants from breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and "just desert".

The entire neighborhood including the business section is very family friendly. willow Glen as a whole is bike friendly, dog friendly, and most importantly family friendly.

There are many clothing stores, bed and bath shops, where many of these establishments are locally owned and operated. Willow Glen is home to two of the Silicon Valley area's only remaining independent bookstores.

Downtown Willow Glen makes me feel as though I have walked back like in time to the 1950's. Every day I anticipate that I will run into Wally, Lumpy and "The Beaver". I love walking around checking out the shops and restaurants.

Willow Glen's residents are laid back and content with plenty of smiles, waves and heart felt "hellos". Dog friendly, family friendly, and bike friendly.

The 19th Annual "Dancin' on the Avenue" is coming up in June 2014 on Lincoln Avenue between Minnesota and Willow. The Community Stage will present performances from local dance groups. The children's area will have a petting zoo, "fun area", face-painting, games and crafts. Many of Willow Glen's restaurants will be enticing patrons with wonderful culinary fare.
