An exclusive pastoral oasis in San Mateo County
Surrounded by natural beauty and views of the western hills, the town of Woodside is a rural oasis near Silicon Valley. Its prime location, sprawling estates and pastoral but exclusive air have attracted tech industrialists and venture capital billionaires, making it one of the wealthiest towns in California. Located in San Mateo County, about 30 miles south of San Francisco, Woodside originated as a log-milling hub owing to its abundance of redwoods. These days, it’s a small town of around 5,000 residents hidden away in the vast greenery between the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific coastline. And while this Arcadian haven may feel remote, it’s only a short drive from nearby dining and shopping destinations in Palo Alto and Redwood City. “It’s a beautiful place and very bucolic. It’s a great, central location near San Francisco and Silicon Valley for people that are looking for more space,” says Erika Demma, a local Realtor with Compass Real Estate.
While Woodside is full of cozy ranch homes, it also has a fair amount of high end estates.
