About The Esplanade

History and modern living seamlessly intersect at The Esplanade apartments in beautiful downtown San Jose, CA. Our community is truly unique. On our grounds, you’ll find a 1900s cannery building which now houses our studio and loft apartments, designed with modern style and accented with historic charm. Adjacent to these, explore our contemporary one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments for rent, including spacious townhome-style and loft residences. Inside each home, you’ll discover sleek finishes, ample storage space, and an in-unit washer. Just outside, enjoy your own private patio or balcony space. Around our community, experience the many amenities that The Esplanade has to offer. Gather with friends and neighbors at the barbecue and picnic area, hang out in the clubhouse, or relax in our pool or spa. You can also hit the gym any time you like at our community fitness center. As you venture outside our grounds, you will discover an array of delectable food and finely crafted drinks at The Market in San Pedro Square and one-of-a-kind shops and boutiques in historic Japantown. Plus, with some of the area’s best schools, parks, and entertainment options nearby, you’ll find everything you need is close to home. When you choose to explore farther, you’ll be perfectly positioned to access the rest of the incredible Bay Area. Highways 101, 87, 280, and 880 are all minutes from your door, or you can catch the VTA Light Rail or the Caltrain, and the San Jose International Airport is also just minutes away.
