The neighborhood

Explore East Sunnyvale with Simon Sahi.

East Sunnyvale sits at the city's heart of technological innovation — Fry's Electronics, Yahoo, Lockheed Martin and Advanced Micro Devices all had their beginnings here. The housing matches the energy: vibrant condominiums with private patios for outdoor entertaining, and newer tri-level townhomes built around 2000 with comfortable, spacious layouts.

Buyers choose East Sunnyvale for newer construction, lower-maintenance living and unbeatable proximity to Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin and the Moffett Park corridor. For sellers, the neighborhood's tech-campus adjacency keeps a steady stream of relocating professionals looking this way.
