The neighborhood

Explore Redwood Shores with Simon Sahi.

Redwood Shores is Redwood City’s waterfront address: a master-planned community of lagoons, bridges and tree-lined streets in the city’s southeast corner, built out from the 1970s through the 1990s. Homes range from lagoon-front single-family residences to condominiums and townhomes, many with water views and private docks.

Buyers choose Redwood Shores for the resort-style daily life — kayaking the lagoons, walking the Bay Trail, and an easy commute down 101 or across the San Mateo Bridge. For sellers, waterfront setting and the Shores’ strong tech-corridor location are the calling cards.

A sense of place

Life on the lagoons.

Redwood Shores was built around water — miles of navigable lagoons thread between neighborhoods, and the whole community is laced with walking and biking paths. Mornings start with rowers on the water and joggers on the Bay Trail; weekends bring paddleboards, park picnics and the short hop to the Peninsula’s employers.

Buyer guidance

Buying a home in Redwood Shores?

School assignments and property details should be verified for the exact address. Local guidance can help you evaluate comparable Shores sales and understand how a lagoon-front home, a townhome or a condo fits the neighborhood.

Thoughtful preparation starts with the specific home, its waterfront setting and relevant comparable sales. From pricing and presentation to launch strategy, the goal is to connect the property with buyers who want the Peninsula’s waterfront lifestyle.
