Tech-friendly convenience defines Ponderosa, where Sunnyvale's central neighborhood offers strategic positioning near major Silicon Valley employers.

East Murphy
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.

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.
