  The people who live at Santana Row generally like it … which isn't surprising since they're affluent enough to live somewhere else if they wanted to. Although it's entirely artificial it is a nice place to live with low crime (private security), decent property maintenance, lots of retail close by, and easy access to major roads.

  If you want to try it, there is a Hotel that is part of it. The whole thing is definitely walkable, but ultimately it just feels like an outdoors shopping mall to me.
