One of Silicon Valley’s major cities, Sunnyvale is a large city with an abundance of residential housing, luxury condominium complexes and key high-tech companies like Palm, Maxim Integrated Products, Lockheed Martin and Juniper Networks. Though this area, much like its neighboring cities, was once predominately orchards and farmland, it now consists of homes that are diversely priced to offer something for everyone, not to mention a bustling downtown area, shopping malls and a variety of restaurants. The median sale price for homes in Sunnyvale is $580,000, which further attests to the area’s affordability when compared to other cities in Silicon Valley.
