Redwood City Real Estate

Redwood City is possibly most well known for being the home of Oracle and Electronic Arts. Located about 27 miles south of San Francisco and 24 miles north of San Jose, it is the midpoint for commuting to San Franciso peninsula cities. Although Redwood City only encompasses about 15.2 square miles of land it is quite diverse. The northern neighborhood of Redwood Shores is affluent and it is not possible to travel by car from Redwood Shores to the rest of Redwood City without leaving the city limits. A large dense urban area is present in the east, north, north-east and central neighborhoods. A dense suburban area includes the west, south and central-south neighborhoods. The deep south and south-west is less dense. Finally the rural hillside neighborhoods are quite upscale. Note that Emerald Lake Hills and North Fair Oaks are mostly outside the city limits but are often associated with Redwood City.
