Neighborhood in Redwood City, California
San Mateo County 94062
With one foot in the heart of Redwood City and the other in the Santa Cruz Mountains’ foothills, Oak Knoll-Redwood Park balances downtown bustle with suburban relaxation. Here, streetscapes vary from tree-shaded residential lanes to major shopping thoroughfares. Hundreds of homes built over the course of a century tell the story of a constantly evolving, ever vibrant and persistently in-demand neighborhood.
Oak Knoll-Redwood Park is a mosaic of architectural styles, with its inventory including 1920s ranch-style homes, 1970s condos and New Traditionals built in the 2020s. Condos sell for between $795,000 and $1.2 million, while older ranch-style properties vary from $713,000 to $3.2 million. Homes built since 2015 fill out the upper tier, selling for between $3.5 and 4.5 million. “It’s an interesting area since the first block of Hudson Street consists of homes with lots of about 10,000 square feet, so it gives that secluded, estate feel. Then as you go down the block, each lot gets slightly smaller,” says Realtor John Forsyth James with Compass Realty. Many homes in this neighborhood are a century old, however, they have been given new life through remodeling, which has boosted their value into the multi-millions. Home prices here are above average for the region and state. In fact, according to Forbes, the neighborhood is in one of the 50 most expensive zip codes in the country.
Oak Knoll-Redwood Park is surrounded by opportunities for retail and restaurant outings. Oak Knoll Drive, hidden away among a warren of winding roads, is home to the Community Shopping Center, where dining options include pizza, Mexican food and the highly rated Nepalese food at the festively decorated Aroma House. Chinese eateries are plentiful along El Camino Real. Also there, the Gourmet Haus Stadt doubles as a Bavarian restaurant and as a lively beer hall. Oktoberfest is a big deal in this neighborhood, with Redwood City hosting a festival at Courthouse Square, which is four blocks north of Oak Knoll-Redwood Park. Supermarkets like Whole Foods and Safeway are easily available along the neighborhood's El Camino Real border.
Clifford Elementary School scores a B-plus from Niche, while John F. Kennedy Middle School receives a B. Sequoia High School sports an A rating for its strong college prep efforts, including an International College Advancement Program for freshmen and sophomores considering participating in the school’s rigorous International Baccalaureate program.
Oak Knoll-Redwood Park has a number of small green spaces for outdoor recreation, from the swing sets at Dove Beeger Park to the open field at Wellesley Crescent Park. Stafford Park, which sits at the heart of the neighborhood, is a hub of activity during the summer. “Stafford Park has a beautiful playground and grass fields where people gather every Wednesday in the summer for free concerts through the Music in the Park event,” James says.
US Route 82, better known as “El Camino Real,” forms Oak Knoll-Redwood Park’s northern border and puts drivers within a 27-mile commute from downtown San Francisco. The 4XX and 5XX Caltrain lines run from the nearby Redwood City transit center to downtown every 15 minutes and tend to reach the city within 35 minutes. This neighborhood is also just a 14-mile drive down Highway 101 from the San Francisco International Airport, while the Dignity Health Sequoia Hospital is located at the heart of the neighborhood.
