Redwood City

Known for its lively energy and central Peninsula location, Redwood City offers a dynamic mix of culture, convenience, and outdoor living. Downtown is a true destination anchored by Courthouse Square, where an eclectic array of restaurants, craft breweries, coffee shops, and entertainment venues—along with the historic Fox Theatre—create an active day-to-night atmosphere filled with live music, movie nights, and festivals. Excellent connectivity via Caltrain and major highways makes commuting throughout San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and nearby communities seamless, while the city’s renowned “Climate Best by Government Test” reputation is reflected in its abundant outdoor spaces. From the popular off-leash areas and hillside views at Stulsaft Park to the sports facilities, hiking trails, and scenic overlooks found in Red Morton Park, Edgewood Park, and Pulgas Ridge Preserve, Redwood City delivers a vibrant, well-balanced Peninsula lifestyle supported by mild weather and a strong sense of community.
