Serra Park & West Valley, Sunnyvale Homes for sale, recent sales and a Property Nerd’s guide

Sunnyvale has no official map of neighborhood names, so this guide uses the two labels that stick to this corner of the city. The city's parcel records place everything south of Fremont Avenue in a planning area called Serra, and Serra Park, a 10.1-acre city park, sits on this guide's east edge at The Dalles and Hollenbeck avenues. West Valley is the name some listing maps use for the same blocks, and it is also the name of the elementary school on Belleville Way. Inside, the city has registered four neighborhood associations: Wrightmont Corners (1999), Stevens Creek (2009), Serra North (2025) and San Antonio Park (2026).

Most of it went up in one burst. County year-built data put about four of every five single-family houses here between 1955 and 1964, in dozens of small tracts of a few streets each. Before that the land was orchard: the Eichler Network describes Primewood's site at Fremont and Mary avenues as a former apricot orchard, the last open piece of a neighborhood of ranch houses by the time Eichler built there. Highway 85's first section, from I-280 to US 101 in Mountain View, opened in 1965 and runs through the west side between S. Bernardo Avenue and Belleville Way. West of it, a group of houses on Bedford Avenue, Albion Lane, Brookings Lane and Bellingham Way came later, in 1976 and 1977.

Three Eichler tracts sit inside the area, each with its own guide: Fairorchard, 54 houses from 1958 between Cupertino Middle School and Wright Avenue; Rancho Sans Souci, 35 houses from 1968 by Claude Oakland, south of Homestead Road; and Primewood, 35 houses from 1969-72 near Fremont and Mary. Fairorchard and Primewood carry the city's single-story overlay; Rancho Sans Souci does not.
