"quiet, clean, and safe neighborhood with a great park and excellent elementary school at the center."

"This part of Birdland is a bedroom community. Restaurants and shopping are mostly handled with a car trip (often on the way home from work). Tucked safely away from major roads, noise and traffic are refreshingly muted compared to surrounding areas. Houses have 2-car garages, but most people use them for storage and park in their driveways or use the ample street parking. Lower and middle schools are excellent "Cupertino" ones, but Fremont High remains a stumbling block. With the surge of kids graduating from the middle school, however, there is hope that the high school will improve to the top tier with time. The area contains almost exclusively 3 and 4-bedroom houses. No condos. No apartments. Most residents are either retired couples or high tech workers with kids. Many residents are asleep by 10:00 and nearly the entire street is dark by 11:30. Comcast is the only internet service supplier. My house is too far for DSL. There is no fiber. There is no community wifi. Highway access to 280 and 101 N is excellent. Access to 237 and 101 S is OK. If you work for Apple, the commute is great: Infinite Loop campus and the new spaceship campus are a short drive on local roads. (I sometimes walk!) "
