East Murphy

What's it 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.
