Homes Near Fremont High School
Fremont High School is the only open public high school located inside Sunnyvale city limits. It sits at 575 West Fremont Avenue in the 94087 ZIP code and belongs to Fremont Union High School District, the same district that runs Homestead, Cupertino, Lynbrook and Monta Vista. Buyers researching Sunnyvale schools often skip past it, because the conversation around this part of the city is dominated by Homestead. Attendance is set by a property's exact address rather than by distance from the campus, so confirm any assignment with the district before it drives an offer.

The Sunnyvale High School
Fremont Union High School District serves six cities and operates five comprehensive high schools. Only one of them is inside Sunnyvale, and that is Fremont High. Homestead sits across the line in Cupertino and serves western Sunnyvale from there; Cupertino, Lynbrook and Monta Vista serve Cupertino, San Jose and the areas south.
That geography produces a quiet asymmetry. A buyer searching "Sunnyvale high school" is describing Fremont High, while a buyer searching "Cupertino schools from Sunnyvale" is usually describing Homestead. Both are Fremont Union campuses, both draw from Sunnyvale addresses, and the district treats them identically. What differs is the attendance area, and that is settled by address rather than by which name a buyer typed.
The campus enrolls a little over two thousand students, comparable in scale to its district siblings.
What "Near Fremont High School" Means on This Page
The listings above are drawn from 94087, the ZIP code containing the campus. That is a deliberate choice and it is worth stating precisely.
A ZIP code is not an attendance area. Some 94087 addresses feed Fremont High and some feed Homestead, and both outcomes are Fremont Union. What the ZIP gives you is the right search territory rather than a guarantee, and Fremont Union publishes both boundary maps and an address-check tool for settling the question on a specific property.
The Elementary and Middle Years Are a Separate Question
This catches families who focus on the high school and assume the rest follows.
Sunnyvale is served by four school districts. Before high school, a 94087 address may feed Cupertino Union School District, which operates Nimitz, Stocklmeir and West Valley elementary schools plus Cupertino Middle School inside Sunnyvale, or Sunnyvale School District, which runs its own elementary and middle campuses across the same area, or Santa Clara Unified, which holds a campus in the same ZIP code and, being a unified district, keeps its students through graduation rather than handing them to Fremont Union at all.
So two families both headed for Fremont High can spend the first nine years in different districts. The Sunnyvale School District Guide works through how the four divide the city.
What Homes in This Area Cost
The figures below come from the most recent twelve months of closed sales in 94087, the same geography as the listings on this page. They describe a ZIP code rather than an attendance area.
Single-family homes. 243 closed sales. Median sale price $3,050,000, or about $1,669 per square foot on a median 1,815 square feet and a 7,000 square foot lot. Median time on market was 8 days, with half of all sales closing within a week. The median sale closed at 109.3 percent of asking and 80 percent sold above list.
Condominiums and townhomes. 62 closed sales. Median sale price $1,244,000, or about $933 per square foot on a median 1,294 square feet, also at a median 8 days on market. The median sale closed at 102.9 percent of asking and 68 percent sold above list.
The roughly $1.8 million between those two medians is what makes this area reachable for families who could not fund a detached purchase here. Attached homes do not compete less hard, though: they move at the same eight-day pace and seven in ten sell above asking.
Four Ways a School-Driven Purchase Goes Wrong
Trusting the listing. School fields in the MLS are entered by the listing agent, verified by nobody, and frequently out of date. They are marketing copy.
Trusting the neighborhood name. Boundaries do not follow tract names, and homes on one street occasionally split between campuses.
Stopping at the high school. If children are younger, the elementary and middle assignment matters more in the near term and comes from an entirely different district.
Treating a locator result as final. Cupertino Union's locator returns a preliminary assignment that the district confirms through its own student assignment process, and Fremont Union publishes boundary maps alongside an address-check tool.
When a client is buying specifically for a school, I verify the address with the district before we write, and I do not let a school claim in a listing stand unchecked. On a purchase at these prices, that verification is not optional diligence.
