Established community at the center of the San Francisco Peninsula
California residents call San Mateo County ‘The Peninsula.’ This slender strip of land separates San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean, and in the middle of it all is Woodside Hills. Thirty-five miles from San Francisco and 26 miles from San Jose, the community is ideally located for those wanting to be near culture and nightlife while remaining in a tranquil suburb. “Woodside Hills is a small community, a pocket area off the 280. The homes are tucked in there. There’s a sense of privacy,” says Bay Area Realtor Kimm Terpening. She and her business partner, Jennifer Alfaro, are a team with Compass with a combined 30 years of experience. “It’s a very established area with nice-sized lots. There are a lot of decades represented in the houses, and it’s close enough to walk to parks in Redwood City.” Three miles from downtown Woodside, this lushly wooded area provides easy access to walking and equestrian trails and a golf course.
Woodside Hills offers a serene, lush setting with expansive views of nearby golf courses.
Woodside Hills offers serene hillside living with stunning views and luxury homes in nature.

Nearly a century of custom-built luxury homes
The Town of Woodside didn’t exist when Woodside Hills was developed on 300 acres in 1938. The sometimes-lavish houses were built with money from the local lumber mills, and the community got its name from the heavily wooded coastal ridgelines it sat upon. Those ridgelines make the neighborhood’s sloping roads wind around houses hidden in foliage. Coupled with the community’s tree-filled traffic islands, the already private area has a secluded feel. The Woodside Hills Homes Association hosts a “Meet Your Neighbor” night to encourage people to mingle. This community togetherness is probably why the neighborhood gets a CAP Index score of 2 out of 10, which is below the national average of 4. Lots are often an acre or more, and many have meticulously landscaped front- and backyards. Homes sell for a median price of $5 million after 40 days. However, architectural styles are quite diverse here and tend to be broken into price categories by age and acreage. Historic estates from the 1920s through the 1940s range from $4.5 million to nearly $20 million. Midcentury luxury homes start around $3 million and continue to $6 million. More contemporary houses range from $6.5 million to $15 million.

Public parks and private country clubs
The Menlo Country Club and its golf course occupy the neighborhood’s eastern corner. It’s for members only, but there are still recreational opportunities all around the neighborhood. Barkley Fields and Park is Woodside’s only official green space. It hosts Little League and youth soccer on its large open field, and children enjoy the shaded playground. Stulsaft Park rests on the edge of Woodside Hills and is maintained by Redwood City. It covers 42 acres, has a trail network for walking, biking and horseback riding, and allows off-leash dogs on some paths. There are also playgrounds and a children’s splash pad with large crayons as the water features.

Traveling between San Francisco and San Jose
There are no sidewalks between the homes in Woodside Hills, but people are often seen walking their dogs or just taking a stroll along the wooded, winding streets. Public transportation is limited, but a few bus stops dot Farm Hill Boulevard and Fernside Street. Interstate 280 and California State Highway 84 run just outside the community, taking people to San Francisco, San Jose and Silicon Valley.
