Living in the Bay Area ‘burbs

Located in the Bay Area suburbs, Redwood Village residents live in a quiet setting close to community parks, local shopping and public schools. The neighborhood is in the heart of Redwood City on the San Francisco Peninsula, just a few miles from the Bay shore. It’s home to a mix of blue-collar workers and tech professionals who commute to tech-savvy Silicon Valley. "Redwood Village is a place for everyone. It is a very friendly area with multiple cultures and people from all over," says local Realtor Yoli Hurchanik of Coldwell Banker Realty, who has been selling homes for over 40 years. "It's just fantastic. It's a wonderful place to live in and it's close to everything."

Midcentury homes on leafy residential streets

Redwood Village’s residential streets feature an array of older homes, most of which were built in the mid-20th century. Ranch homes, split-levels and bungalows are the most common designs here. Lots are typically small, around 5,000 square feet, but still have plenty of room for gardening and landscaping. Apartments with single-car garages can also be found along Oakside Avenue. Smaller homes often price between $800,000 and $1.2 million while homes with three bedrooms or more can range from $1.1 million to $1.4 million. Redwood Village's housing market is relatively competitive with many homes selling between four and five weeks.

Like much of the Bay Area, home prices in Redwood Village and Redwood City have skyrocketed over the last few decades. “I’ve been doing this for 47 years. I remember selling homes in Redwood Village for $70,000,” says Realtor Arnoldo Arreola of Re/Max Gold, a longtime Redwood City resident. Arreola says Silicon Valley’s rapid expansion is behind the city’s growth — and its rising housing prices. “We’re transitioning from being a small town to a big city.”

Walk to Sigona’s Farmers Market

Shopping options are just a quick walk or drive away. Sigona's Farmers Market, off Middlefield Road, is a family-owned, open-air grocery store that’s been a staple among Redwood City locals since 1975. Just a block away is Tacos El Grullense E&E, a local mainstay revered for its authentic tacos, burritos and quesadillas. A Costco Wholesale is stationed directly across the street from Sigona's while a Target and Marshalls department store sit at the southern end of the neighborhood off El Camino Real. For more restaurant and shopping options, there are plenty of hidden gems in downtown Redwood City. "During the summertime, let me tell you, Redwood City has the most beautiful attractions every weekend," Hurchanik says. "They have music, it's close to the Bay and it's very cultural."
