Where is Rohrmoser?

In the 1960’s, the Rohrmoser family originally developed the coffee fields on the west side of San Jose. And it was finished in the eighties. Rohrmoser was one of the very first master-planned subdivisions on the west side of San Jose.

Nunciatura

The first part of the subdivision was called Nunciatura and rapidly developed by the local business community. Also, Nunciatura offers some very nice parks and larger upscale older homes.
