Explore City Center with Simon Sahi.

City Center is Cupertino's Heart of the City district, anchored by the Civic Center complex — City Hall, Community Hall and the Cupertino Library — with Wilson Park's lawns, the amphitheater and Library Field forming a shared backyard. The Vallco redevelopment and Main Street Cupertino's restaurants and Town Square are redefining what downtown Cupertino means.

Homes here range from classic mid-century ranches to townhomes and newer residences on the city's most walkable blocks. Buyers choose City Center for everyday convenience: library runs, park picnics, Friday farmers market evenings and dinner out are all minutes from the front door.
