Sunnyvale

Advertised as “the City of Destiny” with a population of over 131,000, this city was initially known for its vast open space and fertile soil that made the area ideal for fruit orchards.  Today the city combines the advantages of an attractive suburban residential setting, a diverse population, metropolitan cultural opportunities and a dynamic economic base that includes technology, biotech, aerospace, communications, and manufacturing.

Sunnyvale is home to the Moffett Naval Air Station and Lockheed Missiles & Space Company, which are major local employers. In 2014, NASA announced it will be leasing the Moffett Federal Airfield to Google for 60 years, and Google has been using the airport to store planes used for atmospheric research. Sunnyvale is also home to some of the nation's most successful businesses, many of which have taken up office space within the new Sunnyvale Town Center and in the newly constructed Moffett Business Park.

Sunnyvale offers residents quality parks and a Public Safety Department that brings together fire and police functions for efficient and successful safety.
