The neighborhood

Explore Downtown Redwood City with Simon Sahi.

Downtown Redwood City is the city’s urban core: the Fox Theatre’s glowing marquee, Broadway’s restaurant row, Century cinemas and Courthouse Square’s packed event calendar. Housing here mixes newer condominiums and townhomes with older homes on the downtown fringe — all within genuine walking distance of the train.

Buyers choose downtown for a true car-optional lifestyle and low-maintenance living. For sellers, walkability, Caltrain and the downtown scene itself are the pitch — a lifestyle no other Redwood City neighborhood offers.
