Located near mass transit in a commuter core adjacent to Blossom Hill Caltrain Station, Santa Teresa VTA Station and major highways, The Towns at UrbanOak blends with the surrounding diverse commercial and residential neighborhood. The designers achieved a diverse range of for-sale residential types in a 32-acre transit village while also creating a variety of price points.

Plan 4 is the largest the community has to offer, featuring an open concept design with four bedrooms, three baths and plenty of storage throughout. The well-appointed gathering room, kitchen and elongated deck ideal for open-air grilling provide plenty of space for entertaining.
