If you’re considering senior living in San Jose, you’ll be happy to know that San Jose is filled with ways to stay active, inspired, and connected. From peaceful parks and community centers to world-class cultural attractions, California’s third largest city boasts lifestyle amenities which are ideal for seniors and their families.
Weather fit for an active retirement
San Jose’s mild, sunny weather makes it ideal for outdoor living. Take a relaxing walk around Almaden Lake Park, admire the blooms at the Municipal Rose Garden, or explore the scenic Los Gatos Creek Trail. Each park offers gentle paths and plenty of benches ideal for taking in the views and chatting with friends. Recently, our Oakmont of San Jose residents visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium in nearby Monterey, a fun destination that’s just a short (and beautiful) drive away down the California coast.

San Jose is the economic, cultural and political center of Silicon Valley, and the largest city in Northern California.
Events and activities for seniors in San Jose
Love art, history, or culture? San Jose has something for everyone. Spend the afternoon at the San Jose Museum of Art, explore ancient wonders at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, or catch a concert in the park. Oakmont of Silver Creek recently hosted a Vintage Car Show with the San Jose Rod and Wheelers Club. Paired with chef-prepared burgers and car stories swapped, it was a perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon. Whether you’re exploring new hobbies or revisiting old passions, there’s always something to enjoy in this lively community.
Abundant options for an active lifestyle
Healthy aging starts with staying active and San Jose makes it easy. In addition to outdoor activities, Oakmont Senior Living communities offer fitness classes such as yoga, tai chi, water aerobics, and more. These programs promote balance, flexibility, and strength while helping participants meet new people who share similar commitments to well-being.

Oakmont Senior Living communities have vibrant, intentional social groups that host everything from hobby clubs and volunteer days to educational workshops. It’s a wonderful way to stay engaged and continue learning, growing, and giving back.
