Birdland Neighbors
Mid-century modern homes and minimal traditional ranches
The neighborhood gets its name from its aptly named streets like Parrot Avenue, Waterbird Way or Magpie Lane. The neighborhood’s single-family homes largely consist of three- and four-bedroom mid-century modern homes and minimal traditional ranches. These homes, although modest, start at around $2 million. Slightly larger, two-story homes range up to $3 million. “There’s a lot of young professionals and young families that live here,” Callard says. Tree-lined sidewalks on residential streets cross in front of lawns outlined by brick barriers and white picket fences. Homes sit on generously sized lots with bright colors and manicured lawns.Apple Park development and a changing housing market
Apple’s corporate headquarters, “Apple Park” (sometimes referred to as “The Spaceship”), is immediately south of Birdland Neighbors. This massive office complex, completed in 2017, can serve nearly 13,000 employees and has contributed to housing prices nearly tripling in Birdland Neighbors since 2011. The neighborhood’s demographics have changed as long-time residents have sold their homes to newcomers at a premium.Students attend Sunnyvale schools in the Santa Clara Unified School District
“The school district in the area is also good. Families will move here months before the school year to send their kids there,” Callard says. Laurelwood Elementary, which earned an A grade from Niche, serves the neighborhood. The Santa Clara Unified School District is currently building a new, expanded campus for Laurelwood Elementary. The new building will accommodate at least 800 students and is expected to be completed for the 2026 school year. Older students in the area may attend the A-rated Peterson Middle School and A-plus-rated Adrian Wilcox High School.Recreation at Raynor Park, Ortega Park and Central Park
Raynor Park sits at the center of Birdland, offering an outdoor basketball court, baseball diamond, playground and roller skating rink. Just a mile and a half west, locals can visit the family-friendly Ortega Park for more park amenities, including a rock climbing wall and splash pad for kids, tennis courts and a cricket pitch. Residents can also visit nearby Central Park. In addition to traditional park amenities like a playground and paved walking trails, Central Park is home to the George F. Gaines International Swim Center and the Community Recreation Center.The town of Sunnyvale hosts family-friendly events
Sunnyvale has plenty of family-friendly events throughout the year at its parks, including an Easter egg hunt at Raynor Park. Residents can also head to Downtown Sunnyvale to visit the town’s year-round farmers market, held every Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM, or the Sunnyvale Library, which hosts fitness classes, child and teen programming, events and more.Global flavors in Birdland off El Camino Real
El Camino Real borders Birdland Neighbors on the north and provides a range of dining options. One option is TANTO Japanese, which attracts crowds coming for its casual digs serving cold beers and tasty Japanese classics. On the other side of Lawrence Expressway, Jang Su Jang serves Korean BBQ. Birdland also has several Asian markets, including 99 Ranch Market, a Chinese grocery store, and MEGA MART, a Korean grocery store just northeast of the neighborhood.Commuting to major employers from Birdland Neighbors
Major employers like Apple and the Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center are located just south of the neighborhood and are accessible by car, bike or on foot. The San José Mineta International Airport and Downtown San Jose are less than 10 miles from Birdland Neighbors, and Interstates 280 and Highway 85 transports drivers around Silicon Valley and beyond.
