About 855 Main St #2
Timeless Character Meets Modern Convenience at 855 Main Street
Step into a piece of Santa Clara's storied past at 855 Main Street. This beautifully preserved 1940s-style building offers a rare combination of mid-century charm and the vibrant, walkable lifestyle of the Old Quad the city's most historic and sought-after residential neighborhood.
A Neighborhood Steeped in History
Living here means living at the heart of "The Mission City." The Old Quad is famous for its tree-lined streets and architectural diversity, ranging from Victorian estates to the sturdy, classic craftsmanship of the 1940s.
Located just a few blocks from Santa Clara University, the area hums with a sophisticated energy. You are walking distance to the historic Mission Santa Clara de Asis, where the city's roots began in 1777. This is a neighborhood where history isn't just in books; it's in the local coffee shops, the shops of Franklin Square, and the quiet, friendly atmosphere of the residential blocks.
The Heart of the Community: City Plaza Park
Just a short stroll away is City Plaza Park, the vibrant centerpiece of the neighborhood. This beautifully maintained green space offers a peaceful retreat for morning walks or weekend relaxation.
Sitting directly within the park is the Mission Branch Library. This newly updated facility serves as a state-of-the-art community hub, offering a modern space for reading and research set against the backdrop of the park's lush landscape. Having both a premier park and a world-class library at your doorstep truly defines the convenience of this location.
The Home: 1940s Charm, 2026 Living
This isn't just an apartment; it's a residence with soul. The building's 1940s heritage shines through in its genuine oak hardwood floors and substantial construction that provides a sense of privacy and quiet rarely found in modern builds.
