Walkable neighborhood 2.5 miles from downtown Redwood City

Centrally located in Redwood City, Woodside Plaza is a tranquil mixed-use neighborhood with great East Bay views and easy access to shopping, dining and parks. Highly walkable, this is the last flatland before the Santa Cruz Mountains foothills begin. “Woodside Plaza is a popular area. It’s near everything: the 280 Freeway, downtown Redwood City and even San Francisco and San Jose. It’s very pretty, with lots of mature maples and oaks. The canopy of trees gets very colorful, and holidays are a big deal. A lot of people decorate their houses for Halloween or with holiday lights,” says Julie Alsaegh, a Realtor with Compass with nearly a decade of experience.
