The neighborhood

The Redwoods, Los Altos Hills homes for sale in the trees.

The Redwoods occupy a coveted, relatively flat section of Los Altos Hills — roughly bordered by Foothill Expressway, Burke Road, Fremont Road and Arastradero Road — a stone’s throw from downtown Los Altos’ Main Street. Homes here mix custom new constructions with original ranch-style homes on one-acre-plus lots tucked behind majestic redwood trees.

Because it sits on flatter ground and is easy to navigate, many consider the Redwoods the most practical corner of the Hills: Town Hall and the private Pinewood School sit within the neighborhood, downtown is minutes away, and I-280 is close — all with the seclusion and quiet the town is known for.

A sense of place

Seclusion, minus the climb.

The Redwoods offer the blend buyers ask about most: genuine Los Altos Hills privacy and big trees, without the steep canyon roads of the deeper foothills. Kids walk to Shoup Park’s playgrounds and summer day camps at the Redwood Grove Nature Preserve; families gather for Little League at Purissima Park; and Main Street’s coffee shops, bookstores and restaurants are an easy hop down Fremont Road.
