With over 83,000 residents, Redwood City is the third largest city within San Mateo County.  What its size fails to convey is the amazing diversity and the breadth of options this historic town has to offer.  With miles of San Francisco shorelines to the east and gentle rolling hills to the west, Redwood City offers housing and neighborhoods to suit every lifestyle and every budget.  From modern, high-rise condos in the vibrant downtown area, to waterfront townhouses along the lagoons of Redwood Shores, to vintage homes in the Mount Carmel neighborhood, to lakeside and mountain get-aways in Emerald Hills – housing choices abound.  With forty-five public, charter, magnet, and private schools, families have numerous choices for educational opportunities.  Those commuting to San Francisco, San Jose, the East Bay, or within the Silicon Valley can enjoy the convenience of CalTrain and Redwood City’s close proximity to many of the Peninsula’s largest employers.  Its unique blend of historic buildings and modern amenities make Redwood City a wonderful place to call home.
