Welcome to Redwood City

Redwood City has long held its reputation for having amazing weather, with the city slogan highlighting it – “Climate Best By Government Test.”

More than 80,000 people call Redwood City home and thousands more make their way to the city each day, as it’s the San Mateo County hub with its county commerce, government, courts and county offices located there.

Roughly 25 miles south of San Francisco and about the same distance to the north of San Jose, Redwood City is a very sought-after city because of its unique location from the Big City and the Silicon Valley. Couple that with good weather and you have quite a following!

Improvements to Redwood City have created something for everyone within the city limits. From a charming downtown with a 20-screen movie theatre and various boutique shops and trendy eateries, the downtown square (with its historic courthouse on Broadway across from the landmark Fox Theater) brings the community together with the synergy you’d see in a large urban environment.

But its alluring downtown doesn’t take away from the city’s tight neighborhoods. Redwood City is sectored in a way that boasts several close-knit communities amid its large framework. And there’s something for everyone. Whether you desire the woodsy, open space feel of Palomar Park to the estates of Edgewood Park, the state streets near Woodside Plaza or the larger family homes located in the Farm Hill neighborhood, there is a neighborhood in Redwood City that will satisfy any potential home buyer.

Community events include a weekly Farmer’s Market, multiple downtown and retail festivals, Music and Movies on the Square summer concert series and the largest Independence Day Parade west of the Mississippi.
