Sunnyvale Real Estate & Neighborhood Guide
Sunnyvale covers a broad, flat stretch of the valley floor between Mountain View and Santa Clara, from the edge of San Francisco Bay south to the Cupertino line. It began as Murphy's Station, a railroad stop on Martin Murphy Jr.'s land, and today it is the second-largest city in Santa Clara County, with a historic main street on Murphy Avenue a short walk from Caltrain. Homes run from early 20th-century bungalows near downtown to 1950s and 1960s ranch and Eichler tracts, with townhomes and apartments closer to the job centers in north Sunnyvale.

It depends on the address. Sunnyvale School District serves about two-thirds of the city's K-8 students, and the rest are in Cupertino Union or Santa Clara Unified.

The city adopted Eichler Design Guidelines in 2009, and some blocks have single-story overlay zoning, so check the rules before planning a remodel.
