Woodside, California

Skywood
Skyline

Gated ridge estates along Skyline Boulevard with sweeping Bay views, minutes from 942-acre Wunderlich Park.

The neighborhood

Skywood / Skyline homes for sale on the Woodside ridge.

Skywood and the Skyline corridor sit along the crest of the Santa Cruz Mountains, where gated estates command sweeping views across the Bay. Known in listings as Skywood Acres and the Skyline Area, this is Woodside's ridge-top address — private, elevated and oriented to the horizon.

Wunderlich Park's 942 acres and the historic Folger Stable lie just below the ridge, and Alice's Restaurant at Sky Londa is the corridor's beloved landmark. Buyers come for the views and the seclusion; sellers offer one of the Peninsula's most dramatic settings within reach of the valley floor.

Above it all, in the best way.

Skywood / Skyline is about elevation — literal and otherwise. The estates sit behind gates along Skyline Boulevard, their terraces and glass walls turned toward the Bay. Days end with sunsets over the water; weekends begin with trailheads at Wunderlich or breakfast at Alice's.
