Situated on the San Francisco Peninsula, Redwood Shores is a lavish waterfront neighborhood overlooking the San Francisco Bay. With flowing lagoons, manicured landscaping, multi-use paths, and plenty of parks, you might feel like you're visiting a tranquil resort when you’re in Redwood Shores. In addition to elegant single-family houses, deluxe townhomes, upscale condos, and luxury apartments, the area has attractive business parks with famous tenants such as Oracle and Electronic Arts, among other major technology companies.

Redwood Shores residents enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities in a scenic environment, from water-based recreation on the Redwood Shores Lagoon to playing all kinds of sports on the athletic fields at Marlin Park.

To the southwest, the suburbs of Belmont and San Carlos are Redwood Shores’ closest neighbors. Foster City neighbors Redwood Shores to the northwest, but aside from a bike path, no direct road connects the two areas.
