Top neighborhoods in Sunnyvale

Ponderosa

What it’s like to live in Ponderosa

Tech-friendly convenience defines Ponderosa, where Sunnyvale's central neighborhood offers strategic positioning near major Silicon Valley employers. Most rental communities include amenities supporting remote work requirements increasingly common in technology industries. Though rental rates reflect Silicon Valley's premium market, the combination of reduced commuting time to major tech campuses, quality schools, and positioning between San Francisco and Santa Cruz creates compelling value for tech professionals seeking balanced living environments.

Lakewood

What it’s like to live in Lakewood

Lakewood offers mid-century character with excellent school access in this established Sunnyvale neighborhood. Rental homes typically feature larger lots with mature trees creating natural shade during hot summer months. While Silicon Valley's premium market means higher rental rates than state averages and some homes may need updating, residents enjoy excellent access to both major tech employers and the developing downtown Sunnyvale corridor with more residential character than newer high-density alternatives.

East Murphy

What it’s like to live in East Murphy

Silicon Valley's relentless housing demand makes Sunnyvale's East Murphy neighborhood particularly valuable for its walkable access to both Murphy Street's restaurants and major tech employers. The neighborhood's older apartment buildings often offer significantly more space than newer complexes with paper-thin walls. Street parking remains relatively manageable – a Silicon Valley miracle – and many buildings include carports or garages. The established tree canopy provides essential shade during summer heat waves, while central heating (sometimes included in rent) handles the occasional winter chill. When seeking weekend activities, downtown Sunnyvale's Saturday farmers market offers local produce and prepared foods reflecting the area's diverse population, while Caltrain provides car-free access to San Francisco without battling peninsula traffic.

Sunnyvale, California Renter's Guide

Located in the Silicon Valley, this suburban enclave is home to a eclectic culture. Getting by in Sunnyvale is challenging, however, with a strong will, an adaptable attitude, and these renting tips, you will have all you need to live a happy, well-rounded life.

Tips for Renting in Sunnyvale

Getting Around. All you need to get around in this city is your own two feet. It is easily walkable, with plenty of wide sidewalks, parks, walking trails, and a greenbelt. Bicycles come in handy when travelling between different neighborhoods. The comprehensive transportation system, which includes the Caltrain into San Francisco, makes travelling between cities a breeze. Just one word of advice: if you are going into downtown San Francisco, feel free to bring a six pack for the ride, drinking is allowed. And, you can also bring your bicycle, which is nice since it takes about twenty minutes to walk to downtown from the landing station.

Weather. The weather is always pleasant in the Silicon Valley, however temperatures can vary greatly between neighboring cities. While it may be 80 degrees when you leave Sunnyvale on a warm summer afternoon, the temperature is likely to drop to 60 degrees once you hit San Francisco. These huge differences are most common in the summer, so if you are more warm-natured, pack a light jacket when travelling to nearby cities.

Neighborhoods

Downtown. Restaurants, some bars for nightlife, weekend farmer's market, live music, festivals, and pet parades.

Sunnyarts. Sooooo much going on here: theater, arts festival, bluegrass jams, pottery, painting, dance, acupuncture, soccer, shopping, and a neighborhood bar... just to name a few. This neighborhood really brings the whole community of Sunnyvale closer.

Ortega Park. Variety of nearby parks

Morse Park. A lovely greenbelt, shopping center, and an eclectic little neighborhood bar.

Snail. Convenient for commuters, with a neighborhood park and affordable rent.

Birdland. Best neighborhood for food: dessert shop, bakery, pizza and more! Plus, two great shopping centers within walking/biking distance.

Panama Park. Close to everything: shopping, nightlife, parks, and the Sunnyarts neighborhood.

Ponderosa Park. Golf course, fish market, parks, and quick access Lawrence Expressway and Camino Real.

Stratford Gardens. An affordable neighborhood with tons of great food spots, plus within walking distance to the library and the Sunnyarts neighborhood.

Cherryhill. Beautiful and convenient location next to Sunnyarts, this neighborhood comes with its own park, cherry orchard, and tennis courts.

Gavello Glen. Great, affordable location right next to Sunnyarts.

Good Luck!

It may be a challenge to get by here, but it is well worth it. Just be sure to relieve some stress every once in a while by getting out of the apartment for a day at the beach, in the nearby mountains, or in the creative incubator that is San Francisco. Days spent like this make it all worth the effort.
