Many Silicon Valley home buyers eventually narrow their search to two highly livable cities: Sunnyvale vs. Mountain View. Both sit close to major employers. Both offer strong schools and parks. So how do you choose?
Sunnyvale often appeals to buyers who want:
Slightly more suburban feel in many neighborhoods
A variety of single-family homes and growing dining options
Access to commute corridors while still feeling “neighborhood-y”
Mountain View tends to attract those who prioritize:
Walkable pockets with shops, restaurants, and Caltrain access
Proximity to major tech campuses
A mix of condos, townhomes, and single-family homes on tree-lined streets
Searches for Sunnyvale homes for sale and Mountain View homes for sale are both strong—because you really can’t go wrong. The key is to spend time in each city: drive at commute times, walk through parks, visit grocery stores, and grab a coffee. Notice where your body relaxes more.
Your best place to live in Silicon Valley is the one where daily life feels a bit lighter the moment you step out your front door.
