New Sunnyvale Homes

On my way back home from Memorial Day shopping in Costco I noticed from Lawrence expressway overpass over Caltrain tracks the homes of Bordeaux Sunnyvale KB Home development and decided to take a look what else is going on there. Eighty homes Bordeaux Sunnyvale development located near Lawrence Caltrain station Caltrain on the corner of Aster and Willows avenues. Next development on Aster avenue is forty-two unit townhouse Aster Place Sunnyvale project by Citation Homes. I noticed a few strengths about Bordeaux Sunnyvale and its rival Aster Place Sunnyvale: new development, walking distance to Caltrain station (gas is not cheap anymore), and Sunnyvale School District and then Fremont Union High School District schools for kids. As for weaknesses I would mention proximity to Caltrain tracks and the yard of stone and brick manufacturer Peninsula Building Materials across the street from Bordeaux by KB Home and Aster Place by Citation Homes.

Last, but not least I drove near the development of 130 units Evelyn Glen KB Home project on the corner of Evelyn, S. Wolfe and Caltrain tracks in Sunnyvale. This development was already sold out, but not to happy homeowners yet. The previous land owner Standard Pacific Homes sold eight acre lot of Evelyn Glen development lot to KB Home. The sales center expected to be open in summer 2008.

Once again Silicon Valley schools lead California in latest API report. Faria Elementary School in the Cupertino Union School District was again the top scorer in California with 995 followed closely by Millikin Elementary School in the Santa Clara Unified School District. One more school from the Cupertino district, Murdock-Portal Elementary, placed third with a score of 988.

Concerned Santa Clara

Long time no see. I have not blogged about Bay Area and predominantly Santa Clara county real estate since a long time, probably too much time. In mean time the wonderful real estate sites appeared. One of them Concerned Santa Clara covers high-density development in Santa Clara namely Fairfield Residential’s plans for the graffiti painted Kaiser site at 900 Kiely Boulevard and Santa Clara Square on the property currently occupied by Kohl’s at 3700 El Camino Real and Lawrence Expressway.
