Redwood Shores

The Peninsula’s Waterfront Community

Redwood Shores has a peaceful waterfront lifestyle that feels removed from the busier parts of the Peninsula, even though it is incredibly central. The community is surrounded by lagoons, waterways, and the Bay, creating beautiful views and a relaxed atmosphere.

It’s especially appealing to families because of its schools, quiet neighborhoods, parks, playgrounds, and abundance of recreational activities. There are youth sports, camps, and programs nearby, along with fields, tennis courts, and community spaces. Many neighborhoods are connected by walking and biking paths, making it easy to get outside without having to drive.

The Bay Trail is one of Redwood Shores’ greatest features. It offers miles of waterfront paths for walking, running, biking, and enjoying the wildlife and open views. The lagoons also create opportunities for kayaking, paddleboarding, and other water activities. Marlin Park, Shorebird Park, and nearby open spaces provide wonderful places for children to play, families to gather, or anyone to enjoy the outdoors.

Redwood Shores is conveniently located near Highway 101 and the San Mateo Bridge, with easy access to both San Francisco and San Jose. San Francisco International Airport is also nearby. While it doesn’t have a traditional downtown, residents are only minutes from the restaurants, shopping, and entertainment of San Carlos, Belmont, Redwood City, and San Mateo. It is a great option for people who value newer homes, waterfront scenery, outdoor space, and a quiet, well-planned community.
