What Local Owners & Tenants Say

Feature stories highlighting faster leasing, clear communication, and maintenance responsiveness.

  • “Angel Zapien was truly a real professional from start to finish. I first set up a meeting in person to talk about my expectations regarding a move I wanted to make. I gave all my information and he said he would call me in a couple of weeks. He did just that. He asked had I thought about what I wanted to do regarding my move. I had decided, so we set up a date to start looking for a rental property that would fit my needs. We set up a date and time for me to begin my search. Two weeks later he had four places to look at. The drive was about fifty minutes away. It would take up most of his day. He never complained, and had a great sense of humor. We drove to all four places that he had picked out. I fell in love with the very first property but he insisted I look at the other rentals, before I decided. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Angel listened to my wants. And never pushed me. I felt he wanted me to be happy with my choice. He guided me and had exceptional knowledge about the whole rental experience. Thank you for the opportunity to share with you all about my amazing experience with Angel Zapien.”

About our team • FAQ • Service areas

Sunnyvale-Specific Expertise (Why Local Details Matter)

Sunnyvale is not one “type” of rental. Each pocket behaves a little different. We tune your plan to the street.

Neighborhood Playbooks

  • Heritage District (94086): Close to Sunnyvale Caltrain on W. Evelyn Ave. Great for commuters. Turnover can be faster near Murphy Ave dining.
  • Lakewood & East Murphy (94089): Near tech corridors and the VTA Lockheed Martin light-rail. Strong weekday showing traffic.
  • Cherry Chase & Cumberland (94087): Quiet streets and parks. Families often seek longer leases.
  • Birdland / Raynor & Ponderosa: Single-family mix; demand rises with well-kept yards and AC.

Useful Local Links

Compliance, Made Simple

  • AB 1482: We flag coverage, notices, and rent increase caps.
  • Security Deposits: We follow current limits and 21-day rules for returns and itemization.
  • City Rules: We watch Sunnyvale updates, Mobile Home MOU items, and permit basics.

Need a plain-English answer? Check our FAQ or call us. We’ll walk you through it.
