The neighborhood

Explore Farm Hills with Simon Sahi.

Farm Hills is Redwood City’s rolling western hillside, rising above Farm Hill Boulevard toward the ridge. Stulsaft Park’s 42 wooded acres sit in its midst, and homes — mid-century ranches, remodeled residences and newer estates — sit on oak-studded lots with bay and canyon views.

Buyers choose Farm Hills for hillside space and trail access with an easy 280 commute. For sellers, views, usable lots and the Stulsaft Park setting are the differentiators.
