Redwood Shores TOP OF PAGE One of the very few new areas still under development is the community of Redwood Shores. Although it is within the City Limits of Redwood City and Belmont, this is a distinct community east of US 101 between the freeway and the bay. The beautifully landscaped homes are set among lagoons and saltwater ways with a network of bicycle and walking trails. Many parks, walking trails and streets provide outdoor activities for its residents. A major shopping center recently opened and the community has a number of high-rise office buildings including the very large Oracle and Electronic Arts Complexes.
Redwood Shores has it's own fire station, elementary school as well as community recreation center.
Due to the economic power behind this rapidly growing community, it is expected that Redwood Shores will soon develop its own social infrastructure. This bedroom town is located just west of the San Francisco International Airport. It rises from the flats near the bay up and over the hills of the coastal range. There are great views of the bay, the wooded hills and even the Pacific Ocean from the western slopes. Tanforan Park is one of biggest shopping malls, about 120 stores, on the Peninsula.
