It is bounded by the municipalities of Sta. Maria and Marilao to the west and Norzagaray to the north, all of Bulacan, municipality of Rodriguez, Rizal to the southeast, and the cities of Quezon and Kalookan to the south. The City is approximately 42 kilometres away from Manila. An inland city, SJDM lies between 121°1' to 121°10' east longitude and 14°46' to 14°52' north latitude. The principal access routes to the City coming from the north is via the Quirino Highway and the Marilao-San Jose del Monte Road. These roads connect SJDM to Norzagary and Marilao, Bulacan. From Metro Manila, the City may also be accessed through Quirino Highway after traversing Quezon and Kalookan City. Its major links to the western municipalities of Sta. Maria and Marilao are, in turn, the Sta. Maria-Sapang Palay Road and Sta.Maria-Tungkong Mangga Road. The latter provides the link with the North Luzon Expressway. San Jose del Monte has a total land area of 31,294 hectares. According to the Land Management Bureau, however, the land area of the City is only 10,553 hectares, excluding some areas under contention with the adjoining Municipality of Norzagaray as well as areas under the Angat Water Reservation. The Angat Watershed Reservation that has a land area of approximately 18,000 hectares is partly within the territorial jurisdiction of San Jose del Monte City.
