Sunnyvale is the city I've grown up in, and I love it! Sunnyvale has some of the best public schools, starting from elementary all the way up to high school. There are a lot of different areas in Sunnyvale to shop, explore, and have fun. There are still small businesses in Sunnyvale, such as Zanotto's Family Market, the fruit stand, and others around the city. Sunnyvale is a rather big town, but it has that small town feel. You get to know your neighbors and everyone is super friendly. For nightlife, downtown is a great place to go, filled with many restaurant choices, bars, nightclubs, and an ice rink in December. Over the summer, downtown hosts different bands for free concerts on Wednesdays, bringing the community together even more. These are just a few things that make Sunnyvale unique - come visit and see for yourself!
I live in Sunnyvale. I have recently moved and found Sunnyvale to b an overall pleasant place. I have not been able to see much. However, I live in a relatively quiet area. You can hear some noise from cars. It is very pretty and there are many parks. The bus stations are accesible. However, you may have to walk for quite some time. Nonetheless, it is a 10-20 minute walk. There are small stores that have not branched out. You can try out new food from new restraunts that are small. This is very exciting. There are a variety of hike trails you can access and choose to use. You can pick from the many trails and find ne best or you. I would reccomend hiking in Sunnyvale. Hiking relieves a lot of stress from your body and hiking can relax your mind. Hiking is very fun and you can listen to music. The hike trails could possibly be crowded. Some are. Some aren't. It is up to you to decide. The traffic is average and I feel as if it is better than some places. Overall, Sunnyvale is very fun!
This area is super safe, and great for raising a family. The schools in Sunnyvale are really reputable and prepare your child for his/her future. Although the living expenses here can be pricey, it is worth the investment! Because this is Silicon Valley, there are so many job opportunities and you will be in the center of technology.
