Though mostly suburban, there is much to see and do in Sunnyvale! There are several hundred restaurants spanning many cuisine styles, including some delicious ethnic fare. Although it is not known for its active night life scene, there are some great bar/lounge options and nearby Silicon Valley cities with more active downtowns. Head to historic Murphy Avenue for a charming tree-lined street filled with local shops, eateries, and a Farmer's Market every Saturday. Outdoorsy types will love Sunnyvale, with nearly 20 parks featuring playgrounds, picnic space, off-leash areas, and volleyball courts, there is no shortage of ways to soak in the California sunshine. Another plus? The Santa Cruz mountains are just a short drive away!
