The core of Apple
Set 2 miles south of Apple Park in Silicon Valley, Downtown Cupertino is a mostly residential community close to highly rated schools, tech hubs and commercial centers. “Cupertino's one of the most coveted cities to call home in the Bay Area,” says Spencer Hsu, a Realtor with Exp Realty and over 6 years of industry experience. Hsu continues, "Residents here love the blend of urban and suburban life." Kevin Swartz, a Realtor with Atria Real Estate and over 10 years of experience, says, "Homebuyers want to come here if they work in the tech industry and have children who they want to get into the best schools."
Homes in Downtown Cupertino are typically ranch-style from the 1950s and '60s, and some were designed by the renowned midcentury architect Joseph Eichler. “This is the only place in Cupertino where you’ll find Eichler homes, and they’re very popular,” says Swartz. The nearby Lawrence Expressway and Highway 280 make it easy for residents to get to other tech hubs like Sunnyvale, North San Jose and Mountain View, and the neighborhood receives a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.

Mid-century and remodeled homes
Most homes in Downtown Cupertino sit along sidewalk-and-tree-lined streets, within walking distance of schools; low-water, drought-tolerant landscaping is common. Midcentury Craftsman-style bungalows and ranch-style homes are popular here, as are a handful of minimal, single-story Eichler homes, with trademark features like clean lines, courtyards and a focus on natural light. Two-story Spanish Revival- and French Country-style homes built between the late 20th century and early 2000s range from 2,000 to 3,000 square feet. “For original construction from the '50s or ‘60s, the average price is about $2.6 million," says Swartz, "but homes renovated or built in the past 20 years sell for an average of $3.8 million." Swartz says the market moves fast here—most homes receive multiple offers and sell within 10 days.

Dining local on Main Street
Along Main Street, local eateries range from Oren's Hummus, a casual Mediterranean spot with plant-based options, to the upscale Alexander’s Steakhouse, which offers five-course meals of Japanese-fusion. Swartz recommends Lazy Dog, a restaurant that serves craft cocktails and American comfort food in a cozy, cabin-like setting, and Eureka, a rustic bar and restaurant with happy hour specials. “Eureka has a lot of beers on tap and a very extensive whiskey menu, as well. You can do whiskey or beer tastings there.” Neighborhood grocery options include Japanese specialty market Tokyo Central (also called Marukai Market), and a Trader Joe’s.

Downtown Cupertino schools are highly rated by Niche
“Most of the time, when I see families purchasing in Cupertino, it’s because of the schools,” says Swartz. The neighborhood is zoned within two school districts -- Cupertino Union for elementary and middle school, and Fremont Union High for high school -- and Swartz points out that all local schools are within walking distance of neighborhood homes. Kids here can start at C.B. Eaton Elementary, which is rated A by Niche and focuses on personalized learning for each child, then move on to Sam H. Lawson Middle, which is rated an A-minus. At the A-plus-rated Cupertino High, students who struggle in the classroom can apply for the Terra Nova program, which offers additional academic support.

The 13-acre Creekside Park offers a basketball half-court and multiuse fields, as well as tree-shaded walkways along Calabazas Creek. Less than a mile west, Wilson Park includes grassy fields, a fitness course and a baseball diamond; also here is the Wilson Ceramics Studio, where residents of all ages can sign up for public workshops or schedule private classes. Swartz says the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve is a popular spot for weekend hikes, with trails like the 3-mile Seven Springs Loop, which winds through shade and sun, offering views above the city.

Getting around Cupertino
“The area’s pretty conveniently located,” says Swartz. “You’re very close to Lawrence Expressway and Highway 280, which are big commuter routes.” San Jose is 10 miles south and a 15- to 30-minute drive, depending on traffic. Apple Park, local schools and Main Street are within walking/biking distance of most Downtown Cupertino homes, and while Swartz says that public transportation isn’t commonly used in Cupertino, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority buses do make stops along Miller Avenue. Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center is 3 miles northeast, and San Jose Mineta International Airport is 10 miles northeast.
