Suburban greenery on the San Francisco Peninsula

Sandwiched between the San Francisco Bay and Northern California's thick redwood forests is Roosevelt — a walkable, suburban neighborhood just south of downtown Redwood City and a short drive from Silicon Valley. With proximity to a host of nearby attractions, good schools and excellent public parks, Roosevelt's allure is clear-cut. "You've got a wide range of people that live around Redwood City because of its affordability in comparison to some of the most expensive areas," says local Realtor Josh Rubin of Compass, who has sold dozens of homes in the Bay Area. "In terms of future potential, you can tell Redwood City really wants to become a major hub on the center of the San Francisco Peninsula."

Nestled in Roosevelt, enjoy suburban charm with convenient access to shops and local amenities.

Well-kept homes with Bay Area price tags

Along Roosevelt's gridded, tree-lined streets are homes featuring a wide range of architectural styles from ranch, bungalow and Craftsman-style dwellings to larger properties with Mediterranean Revival flourishes. Sidewalks and manicured front lawns are a common sight throughout the neighborhood. A single-story home can list between $1 million and $3 million while larger 4,000-square-foot residences often range from $3 million to north of $7 million. The housing market in Roosevelt is very competitive with many homes selling in under two weeks, though some properties can take a bit longer. "Some houses in Redwood City sell immediately, like within the first couple of days if they have the perfect lot dimensions, perfect layout and great location," Rubin says. "For other homes, it can take anywhere from hundreds of days to possibly even zero days."

Roosevelt offers elegant Mediterranean and Colonial Revival homes with lush, mature landscaping.

Community parks, trails and nearby redwood forests

After school, residents can take their kids to Magical Bridge Playground at Red Morton Park for a play date, or head over to Kiwanis Field for batting practice. Huddart Park is a can't-miss for Roosevelt locals. Stationed just six miles west of the neighborhood, this 900-acre green space contains a large network of trails perfect for hiking, biking and horseback riding through hilly Bay Area forests . Black-tailed deer, raccoons and even the occasional bobcat and grey fox can be seen darting between the towering redwood trees. There’s also Bair Island Wildlife Refuge & Trail for picturesque views of the bay. Rubin says Redwood City's outdoorsy lifestyle is one of the area's biggest draws.

Getting around the Peninsula by car, rail and airplane

With plentiful sidewalks and streets with little thru-traffic, Roosevelt is very walkable and bikeable. Locals have good road access with El Camino Real serving as Roosevelt's northern border. State Route 101, also known as The Bayshore Freeway, runs a mile to the north. It’s a major commuter corridor that connects with both San Francisco and Silicon Valley. There’s also a Caltrain station just outside the neighborhood for those who prefer to travel by rail. The San Francisco International Airport is 15 miles north.
