Welcome to Redwood Shores
A master-planned waterfront community in the Redwood City
Redwood Shores is a master-planned waterfront community in Redwood City built on reclaimed marshland in the San Francisco Bay. Because it’s a planned development, homes and streets have a homogenous look. Almost every resident has water views and backyard decks. There are even three calm-water swim courses stretching for two miles where people love to soak in the hot California sun.
Bikers and runners use the 500-mile Bay Trail, which passes through shorelines, open spaces, housing developments, and parks. Since there are few restaurants and shopping centers, many residents love spending time in downtown San Carlos and San Mateo, which are about a 10-minute drive away. This gives Redwood Shores the best of both worlds: luxury and convenience.
What to Love
- Planned development with waterfront properties
- Beautiful outdoor space
- A quiet neighborhood
- An abundance of recreation options
Local Lifestyle
Locals in Redwood Shores love spending their time at their backyard docks, enjoying the view of San Francisco Bay. Some take their boats to the grocery store, while others sit around their decks watching blue herons and egrets skim across the water. On weekends, residents gather at the lagoons as they cheer on different rowing teams.
The Bay Club brings a resort-like lifestyle to residents in Redwood Shores. Locals love bringing their families here to enjoy its 15,000-square-foot fitness center, the Splash Landing water park, and outdoor pools.
Main Street Dog Agility Park presents the perfect place to bring your dog for a day out. It’s completely fenced, allowing locals to leave their furry friends off the leash and let them enjoy the outdoors. You will also find locals playing on one of the eight tennis courts available, running on one of the Redwood Shores running routes, and picnicking in one of the parks.
Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
Redwood Shores has a remarkable variety of dining. Scroll Bar Waterside Kitchen offers an extraordinary dining experience in a contemporary restaurant and bar. You can sit indoors or outdoors and enjoy various shareable starters, enticing mains, and creative cocktails with your family, colleagues, and friends.
If you want New American cuisine with Mediterranean inspiration, head to Mistral Restaurant and Bar. They use the freshest meat, fish, and local produce for their eccentric meals. The Grill House is another perfect place to pamper your taste buds. Local favorites include the grilled Caesar salad, grilled salmon, and shaved ribeye cheese steak.
Despite being primarily residential, Redwood Shores has a vibrant shopping scene, and The Marketplace at Redwood Shores is the center of it all. Nob Hills Foods anchors this property with its pharmacy, bakery, and cafe. Bay Club also has a high-end shopping outlet that offers the most satisfying retail therapy after spending time working out or swimming.
Things to Do
If you’re looking for a peaceful place to spend time working or browsing, the Redwood Shores Branch Library is the perfect place. Its open deck facing the hiking trails and nature sloughs offers a great spot to chill out. Inside, you’ll find impressive Bay maps and wildlife exhibits that will help you learn about this place.
The Redwood Shores trails cover over 500 miles, which should sort your morning or late evening runs. Your regular weekend picnics are best held at Marlin Park. There are picnic tables, a barbeque area, a baseball diamond, a soccer field, a tennis court, and a basketball court.
