South San Jose Hills is a unincorporated community and census-designated place in Los Angeles County, California, United States. The population was 20,218 at the 2000 census.

Description

South San Jose Hills is an unincorporated, mainly residential community located on the southern end of the San Jose Hills, which forms a part of San Gabriel Valley.

South San Jose Hills is bounded by City of Industry to the south, Valinda to the west, West Covina to the north, and Walnut to the east. The community is easily accessible via the Pomona Freeway (State Route 60), which runs just south of the community. The ZIP code serving the community is 91744. Most addresses do not use South San Jose Hills as the city but rather La Puente, West Covina, or Valinda, depending on the location of the residence or business. Parts of the area are nicknamed "Happy Homes", based on the former name of the development and on the street gang that later took that name.
