Redwood City Real Estate & Homes For Sale

Redwood City is located in San Mateo County 25 miles south of San Francisco. It is a bustling urban center and county seat midst a scenic landscape of rolling hillsides and the San Francisco Bay shoreline. Redwood City is culturally diverse and has a strong sense of community. When you search for Redwood City homes for sale, you can easily find and abundance of relatively serene, middle-class neighborhoods. More-recently a revitalized downtown center has transformed the city core turning it into a thriving hub of restaurants and entertainment. The charter city is also a thriving economic hub, with some very large, well-known companies like Oracle Corporation World Headquarters lives here.

Redwood City’s sphere of influence includes the districts of Emerald Lake Hills and North Fair Oaks, which, however, are largely outside the city boundaries and are counted individually for the U.S. census. Palomar Park, just north of Emerald Hills and east of San Carlos’ Crestview area, is another Redwood City neighborhood that is formally part of unincorporated San Mateo County. The northern neighborhood of Redwood Shores is part of Redwood City, although it is not possible to travel by road from one to the other without passing through the neighboring city of San Carlos, or through Belmont via unincorporated San Mateo County. Although Redwood City has a large middle-class, the south eastern section of Redwood City highly resembles working-class North Fair Oaks in demographic make-up and income level. Redwood City is a heavily developed mixed city, from its huge dense urban in the east, north, north-east and central neighborhoods, to its very dense suburban in the west, south and central-south neighborhoods, to its less dense exurb in the deep south and south-west neighborhoods, and to its rural upscale hillside neighborhoods. It is a very diverse cosmopolitan city in the Bay Area, a newly popular destination in the peninsula and the Bay as a whole.

In an attempt to revitalize Redwood City’s downtown, city officials decided to look into development. In August 2006, a new 20-screen theatre and various shops opened in a prime downtown location. The theatre complex boasts restaurant and retail space at street level and a 2-level underground parking structure.

In addition to the new 20-screen theatre, major improvements were made to the historical courthouse located on Broadway. In the late 30’s an addition was built in front of the original structure, obscuring the view. It was torn down as part of the revitalization project. The building has been replaced with a large courtyard flanked by water fountains on either side, leading to the main steps of the courthouse. The courthouse’s glass dome is lit at night and changes colors every 11 seconds.

Redwood City’s slogan, emblazoned on arches across Broadway at the east and west entrances to downtown, is “Climate Best By Government Test.” This is based on a climatological survey conducted by the United States and German governments prior to World War I. The area centered on Redwood City tied for the world’s best climate with the Canary Islands and North Africa’s Mediterranean Coast. Redwood City’s Independence Day parade sponsored by the Peninsula Celebration Association,[19] held continuously since 1939, has been billed variously as ‘The largest Independence Day Parade in California,’ ‘West of the Mississippi,’ ‘in North America,’ claims which may or may not be accurate. The first verifiable written records of celebrations date to 1861, and to 1887 for a parade.

About
