Welcome to the Northside!

The Northside Neighborhood Association (NNA), formed in 1965, is the oldest neighborhood association in the City of San Jose. The NNA covers the area bounded by Julian on the south, Hedding on the north, Sixth Street on the west, and Coyote Creek on the east.

All residents who live within the boundaries of the Northside Neighborhood Association are automatically members and benefit from the the services of the NNA and associated groups. Our efforts and funds go towards developing, beautifying, servicing and bringing together the neighborhood through special projects, neighborhood events and ensuring that we have a strong and unified representation working for us in the City of San Jose government.

Donations through the 13th Street NAC to the NNA and the other groups are tax deductable and you will actually see your money being put to good use in your neighborhood. You can donate to the NNA or NAC's general funds or donate to a more specific group of significant importance to you. Please, donate now.
