Sunnyvale blends top-tier schools, family-friendly neighborhoods, and Silicon Valley access with a surprisingly warm, suburban vibe. From 94085 to 94089, median prices vary by micro-market, while iconic Eichler tracts in Fairbrae, Cherry Chase, Rancho Verde, and Ponderosa Park add architectural cachet. Here’s a data-driven guide—plus how the Boyenga Team at Compass helps you win in this competitive market.
Read MoreWhile Palo Alto may have the largest number of Eichler homes, Sunnyvale holds a unique and foundational place in the Eichler story. It was here, on the fertile soil of former orchards, that Joseph Eichler began his development career and built his very first tracts, making the city a veritable "cradle" of his architectural legacy. Today, Sunnyvale is home to approximately 1,100 Eichlers, showcasing the entire evolution of his designs. The city offers a compelling value proposition: the opportunity to own an architecturally significant home with access to top-tier schools at a price point that is more attainable than in other prime Silicon Valley locations.
