By the shores of Redwood Shores
Redwood Shores has an interesting backstory that makes it even more of the delight it is today. It was once home to Marine World/ Africa USA, a legendary animal-themed amusement park that included an elephant on water skis and a killer whale jumping over William Shatner. Although the park is now gone, the community still remains exciting in other ways. In fact, with its stunning San Francisco Bay views, lagoon, and several sloughs, Redwood Shores makes good on the lush beauty of its name. With beautiful homes that sit by the water, tons of parks and restaurants, the waterfront community of Redwood Shores boasts refinement and relaxation. “It’s really pretty because you’re right there by the bay,” says Nicole Ruccolo, a Compass Realtor with three years of experience. “It feels like your own secluded area. You don’t feel like you’re in suburbia.”
