Redwood Shores Neighborhood

People passing west of Redwood Shores on the Bayshore Freeway recognize it by the tall curved towers of the Oracle Corporation. Redwood Shores is also home to Electronic Arts, the game company. Mostly, though, this neighborhood built on fill in the San Francisco Bay is a waterfront community of upscale condominiums, apartments, and single-family homes, many with private docks along the waterways of the Redwood Shores peninsula.

Redwood Shores is east of the city of Belmont, but actually a part of Redwood City. The boundary on the west is Highway 101. The neighborhood is south of Foster City, and north of Steinburger Slough and swampy Bair Island. The zip code for Redwood Shores is 94065.

Highly rated public elementary schools for the area include Redwood Shores and Sandpiper. Children from these schools continue to Ralston Intermediate School in Belmont. For high school, students may attend Calmont or Sequoia High School.

Foster City was once marshland, where American Indians gathered shellfish. Later, drier parts of the peninsula were used as cattle pasture. The Leslie Salt Corporation cross-diked the area in the 1920s, creating an intricate network of shallow ponds where seawater was sun-dried into salt. In the 1960s, the creation of Foster City and Redwood Shores began.

Now Redwood Shores is a peaceful master-planned community with shopping centers, business, industry, schools, and homes. Waterways divide the peninsula into islets strung along paths and roads, and a dredged central lagoon provides a protected place for sailing and windsurfing, with access to wider reaches.

A segment of the San Francisco Bay trail is part of the network of community paths. Walkways lead to views of the wild marshes that surround the peninsula, and edge past well-groomed city parks like Mariners Park and Shore Dogs Park, where dogs run free.
