Live near the epicenter of Silicon Valley in Sunnyvale’s East Murphy neighborhood
East Murphy is a small community in Sunnyvale with rows of homes on flat, tree-lined streets. It sits just west of the San Francisco Bay shore in the heart of Silicon Valley, the nation’s technology capital. Residents are close to small shopping plazas, several public schools and parks and a major highway, making it well-suited for morning commutes. “The majority of people who live here work at major tech companies like Apple and Google. They’re very highly educated, younger professionals. Homes here sell really fast, even with the market being a little more challenging than usual,” says Toran Hattori, broker associate at Intero, who has been working in the area for the last five years. In fact, while the northern part of the community is mostly suburban, the southern half is full of offices and employers, including the Apple Wolfe campus, Apple's third-largest office complex on 18 acres of land.
Lush greenery and wide streets highlight East Murphy’s relaxed community vibe.

A mix of modest midcentury homes and recently built townhomes
The neighborhood has small homes built in the 1940s and ‘50s with modest floorplans ranging from 1,000 and 1,700 square feet. Many have been well maintained by their owners, including some that have received extensive renovations and remodeling. Their front yards stare out across quiet, tree-lined streets lined with landscaped lawns. Single family home prices range from $1.1 million to $2.2 million, depending on their size and the extent of their renovations. Townhomes are plentiful in this area, most of which were built in the last 20 years. They’re slightly more affordable, with prices ranging from $1 million to $1.8 million. Rental units are also strewn throughout the neighborhood. “It’s a good mix of renters and homeowners," Hattori says. "The occupancy rate is very high."
Modern East Murphy townhomes feature sleek façades, balconies, and landscaped courtyards.
