Local businesses in San Jose / Lakewood

Between San Marco and Mandarin, San Jose and Lakewood form the everyday middle of the Southside — riverside neighborhoods where San Jose Boulevard carries the traffic and the errands. Home to the landmark Bolles School campus, the area keeps a steady roster of neighborhood restaurants, markets, auto shops, and services locals actually use. Less postcard, more the places you keep coming back to. Jax Locals highlights the independent, locally-owned businesses at the heart of it.
