Redwood City is a dynamic city with over 85,000 residents that has successfully transformed itself into a cultural and entertainment hub while staying true to its historic roots. Once known primarily for its port—the only deep-water harbor in the South Bay—it is now celebrated for its lively downtown, brimming with restaurants, bars, and a calendar full of events.
At the heart of the city is Courthouse Square. This vibrant space hosts concerts, movies, and festivals, creating a sense of community and connection. Downtown features a mix of historic buildings and modern developments, with highlights like the historic Fox Theatre and an array of dining options that range from casual eateries to upscale bistros.
Redwood City’s neighborhoods offer diverse housing options, from charming 1920s bungalows in Mount Carmel to waterfront homes in Redwood Shores, where residents enjoy peaceful lagoons and trails. And now hip condos are a part of the offering in the revitalized downtown area.
Redwood City has 30 parks, including massive Edgewood Park, a skatepark, a dog park and even two lakes, Upper and Lower Emerald Lakes. The city’s award-winning parks and recreational facilities, such as Red Morton Park and the Magical Bridge Playground, make it a haven for families.
With its central location, thriving downtown, and a strong sense of community, Redwood City embodies the perfect blend of past and present, making it a sought-after destination for both families and professionals.
