If you're new to apartments in Sunnyvale, discover the city's history at the Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum. Located in a home that's a near replica of the Murphy family, the original settlers of Santa Clara Valley, the Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum displays permanent and rotating exhibits that outline the evolution of the Sunnyvale area. With the museum's multiple programs, children particularly enjoy the hands-on portion of the program, where they can grind food, roll out biscuit dough, churn butter and rice potatoes.

Like ghost stories when you learn about a city's history? Then you'll love to hear Sunnyvale natives talk about the antics of Johnny Johnson, a relative of the Murphy family whom residents claim haunts the downtown Toys 'R Us in aisle 15C, the back aisles and the women's restroom. Famed psychic Sylvia Brown (often seen on the Montel Williams show) has visited the store more than 12 times and conducted a sŽance there, which was built on the site of an 1800s apple orchard. But don't worry, apartments near this Sunnyvale folklore site are not haunted.

Downtown Sunnyvale is the thriving center of the city, where Sunnyvale apartment residents can listen to an outdoor concert, shop at a number of boutiques and specialty stores, have a drink at the area's bars, nightclubs and microbreweries and dine on cuisine ranging from Californian to German. Be sure to stop by Chocolatier Desiree for handmade Belgian chocolates, and Firehouse Grill and Brewery for its award-winning pale ale.

Just east of downtown is the Lakewood Village neighborhood; its central location makes it an easy commute to multiple areas in Silicon Valley. If you want to move to an area with lots of green space, consider this area for its parks, Lakewood Park and Fairwood Park. Lakewood Park has ball fields, a basketball court, two horseshoe pits, a multi-use field, a swimming pool, two playgrounds, an outdoor skating rink and more. Fairwood Park is slightly smaller, with a bike path, par course and two sand volleyball courts.
