Milpitas transit and the Silicon Valley commute

Milpitas has become one of the South Bay’s most connected cities, and transit is a big reason buyers choose it. The Milpitas BART station and adjacent VTA light rail put both the East Bay and downtown San Jose within an easy ride, while Interstate 880, Interstate 680, and Highway 237 reach major Silicon Valley employers, including Cisco, which is headquartered here. Around the Great Mall and the transit area, newer townhomes and condominiums have been built specifically for commuters who value walkable access to trains. If a low-maintenance townhome or a newer development near transit fits your Silicon Valley commute, Milpitas is one of the strongest options in the region, and we can help you find it.
