The San Martin area is divided approximately in half by the South Valley Freeway (Highway 101) which runs in a north-south direction. The area west of the freeway is more intensely developed and supports all of the existing commercial and industrial uses in San Martin. The area east of the freeway, which is the more rural part of the community, is characterized by low to medium density, single family residences and various agricultural land uses.

The “San Martin Village” is centered at the intersection of Monterey Road and San Martin Avenue. This community core consists of single-family lots and most of the commercial and industrial uses within the San Martin area. Approximately 300 acres in size, the community core is characterized by a predominance of small lots, a village atmosphere, and higher population density than the remainder of San Martin.
