Here Kathywanghomes team will give you a introduction of the housing in Sunnyvale's four postal code areas: 94089, 94085, 94086, 94087.
Generally speaking, these four zip code areas are arranged from north to south, and the median house price is higher towards the west.

The lots in this area are not large, mostly about 4000sqft-5000sqft. The streets are narrow and crowded. During the period 2009-2012, house prices in this area fell significantly.
There used to be many factories in the 94085 area, but they were later demolished and houses were built on the original lots. After 2000, many new three-story townhouses were built. The interior design of newly built townhouses is fashionable and exquisite, which is very pleasing to the eye. The monthly HOA fee is about $200-$400. This area will attract the group of people who prefer newer homes that can be managed by an HOA and don't have to worry about the maintenance.
