What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Sunnyvale

A well established neighbood. Close to restaurants like Gumbas for italian and Case Lupe for Mexican

I love the tree line streets of my neighborhood. Many of the neighbors are out and about taking walks, walking their pets, and conversing with each other throughout the day. We are within 1 mile of several restaurants, Starbucks, and other places of business. There are at least two parks within walking distance.

our neighborhood is very good.my favorite local businesses is restaurants.I like going with family and friends to parks.

Each store has its unique characteristics. I like to visit the store with my family to see which one is good, but every store is very good.

I like to have dinner with my family like there are restaurants nearby I like the sea and I like the place near the sea, so that I can get closer to nature

Friendly neighbors and quiet neighborhood allows families to live in peace. Everyone in the neighborhood are friends.
