Sunnyvale Rental Market
Sunnyvale is one of the tightest rental markets in Silicon Valley. SFH rentals average $2,900–$3,600 per month in 2026. Demand from LinkedIn, Google, Apple, and dozens of mid-size tech companies keeps vacancy rates exceptionally low year-round.
LinkedIn, Juniper Networks, Lockheed Martin, and Google (nearby) generate consistent, high-income tenant demand. Caltrain access at Sunnyvale Station connects tenants to SF and South Bay employers.
Neighborhoods
Murphy Avenue Corridor's downtown revival attracts younger professionals; Lakewood and Borregas offer established housing stock popular with families and tech workers — all benefiting from Sunnyvale's exceptionally tight rental market.
