Metropolitan at Cupertino: Convenient and Contemporary
by Steve Leung | Contact Steve Leung w/ Questions
The Metropolitan is a brand new community of townhomes and condominiums located in central Cupertino just steps away from Cupertino Square (formerly Vallco). This modern complex is a high-tech worker's dream, only minutes away from Apple's world headquarters and HP Cupertino, among other tech campuses.
I drove there from Sunnyvale near Bedford Square, close to the 85 and 101 interchange, and it was only a few miles. Folks should have no trouble getting to and from other destinations with The Metropolitan's stone's throw proximity to 280, 880, and 17. And if you have kids, you already know about Cupertino schools.
This video quick tour highlights the Metropolitan's Tribeca floorplan with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and amenities described below. Sorry about the quality of the video — I'm still learning the ropes — but the video is much better than the thumbnail would lead you to believe!
Prices here start in the low $600's and the complex includes community amenities such as a fenced swimming pool, courtyard wi-fi access, a kids area with playhouse, secured garages and key card security entrances.
There are four floorplans efficiently laid out from 1,087 to 1,530 square feet and there are a number of courtyards that give the complex an urban feel.
All of the kitchens come with maple cabinetry, Whirlpool appliances, Kohler stainless steel fixtures, and granite slab countertops. Milgard double-glazed windows and sliding doors, Cal Royal security locks, and a Apollo hydro-heat and cooling system are also standard.

Epilogue: I'm experimenting with online video tours that aren't overly produced but still express the feeling of space and location that you get when you physically visit a home. As a complete amateur in the art of movie making and production, I definitely welcome feedback! Please consider this an alpha release. I'm working on providing brighter video and steadier camera work, but hopefully this will improve with practice and better equipment.

This is cool. My wife is trying the same thing on her blog, except with video made from pictures she took on the scene. Let me know what the response is.
