Sunset Oaks, Sunnyvale

Sunset Oaks is a planned development of 245 townhomes located in Sunnyvale, California. The 94087 zip code encompasses southern Sunnyvale.

Once known as the “Garden of the World” for its successful fruit orchards in the 1800s, the city of Sunnyvale is rightfully named for its year-round bright and balmy weather. Sunnyvale’s friendly neighborhoods and close-knit communities thrive side-to-side with the tech giants that make Sunnyvale such an iconic part of Silicon Valley.

Sunnyvale is home to several major technology and aerospace and defense headquarters, such as Yahoo, LinkedIn and Lockheed. In addition, it’s a hotspot for other offices, not least Apple and Google. With so many major companies based in Sunnyvale, it’s no surprise that Sunnyvale is so attractive to the next generation of working professionals. Niche currently ranks Sunnyvale as the 15th best city for young professionals in America.

Sunnyvale residents shop local. Every Saturday morning (including holidays!), a massive variety of local business — from fresh fruit and produce to gourmet homemade food to artisan jewelry — beckon to thousands of shoppers in a farmer’s market that spans two entire streets. Sample organic figs, handmade pasta, fresh oysters, Oaxacan cuisine, and so much more. The lines are long, but they’re worth it.

When it’s not bustling on Saturday mornings, Sunnyvale’s historic downtown hums with strolling residents looking for a lively wine and dine, cozy bookstores that double as coffee shops, and alluring boutique and vintage shops. Locals flock to dining hotspots, including café-style Middle Eastern fare at Dishdash, upscale izakaya-style eats and sake at Rokko, and Italian plates on a patio at the Il Postale. Look for spots with live music — if you’re lucky, you might even catch a city-sponsored street performance. Conveniently located next to a Caltrain station and a quiet grassy park, Sunnyvale’s downtown is family-friendly but never boring.
