1103 Donatello Ter. Sunnyvale Ca, 94087
1103 Donatello Terrace sits in a Sunnyvale enclave where Silicon Valley practicality meets residential calm. The address places you within a six-tenths-of-a-mile radius of two highly rated elementary schools and Fremont High School, all accessible on foot or by bike. Braly Park and the Sunnyvale Municipal Tennis Center anchor the immediate surroundings, offering green space and recreation without the need for a car. The terrace's position—close to El Camino Real's commercial corridor yet removed from its busiest stretches—strikes a balance between accessibility and quiet. This is a neighborhood that functions as both home base and launching point, with walkability scores and proximity to daily errands working in tandem.
Sunnyvale's west side offers a walkability score of 81, reflecting a built environment where coffee, groceries, and parks are within easy reach. Sprouts Farmers Market, Trader Joe's, and Safeway anchor daily routines, while Peet's Coffee and the Bean Scene Cafe provide neighborhood gathering spots. The location serves commuters heading in multiple directions: Downtown San Jose is a 36-minute drive, Stanford University 21 minutes, and San Francisco International Airport 43 minutes. For those relying on public transit, Downtown San Francisco is reachable in 1 hour 43 minutes. Braly Park, Las Palmas Park, and a dedicated dog park provide open space, and the surrounding blocks maintain a low-slung, midcentury-influenced architectural rhythm.

Walk Score® rates an address from 0–100 by how easily everyday errands — groceries, coffee, dining, school pickup — can be done on foot. 50+ means some errands can be walked, 70+ means most can, and 90+ is a rare walker's paradise. Transit and Bike scores read the same way for public transportation and cycling.
Ratings are GreatSchools Summary Ratings on a 1–10 scale, based on test scores, student progress, and college readiness — 8–10 is above average, 5–7 average, 1–4 below average. Schools shown are the closest rated options within five miles. Attendance boundaries change; always verify enrollment eligibility directly with the school district.
As a longtime resident of Los Altos Hills, I have had the privilege of raising my children and watching them grow through Palo Alto public schools, and later at Woodside Priorya private school in Portola Valley. Our family has loved the peaceful and calmness of the hills, the hiking trails, and its close proximity to Silicon Valley and San Francisco.
Through the years, I’ve navigated our community extensively, driving my kids to activities across neighboring towns for various activities which has given me extensive knowledge and familiarity in Atherton, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Portola Valley and Los Altos and beyond. This experience has given me an intimate knowledge of the area and a deep appreciation for the vibrant lifestyle it offers.
Some of my favorite local spots include Los Altos Grill or Evvia for a night out, Satura or Mademoiselle Colette for a morning coffee and croissant, and Terun for a lunch meet up. For fitness, I love the small, intense classes at barre3 or MPX Pilates, and for outdoor relaxation, I enjoy a quick hike at Arastradero Preserve. When it comes to self-care, No Filter Brazilian MedSpa in San Mateo is a personal favorite.
