Redwood City is the Peninsula’s sweet spot for attached living: a revitalized, event-filled downtown, waterfront neighborhoods with miles of paths, and quick connections to everything from Stanford to SFO. Here you’ll find a wide range of condominiums and townhomes—classic low-rise buildings, modern elevator mid-rises, and fee-simple PUD townhomes with private garages. If you want a low-maintenance lifestyle near restaurants, Caltrain, and shoreline trails, Redwood City delivers options for every stage—first purchase, right-sizing, or lock-and-leave convenience.
Explore the latest Redwood City condos & townhomes for sale—from downtown residences near Courthouse Square to lagoon-side communities in Redwood Shores.
If you want to step out for dinner, live music, or weekend markets, Downtown Redwood City is home base. Buildings range from vintage low-rises to newer elevator properties with secured entries and garage parking. Floor plans often feature open kitchens, balconies or terraces, double-pane windows, and in-unit laundry. From here, the Caltrain platform, the Fox Theatre, cinemas, cafés, and services are a short stroll—perfect for a car-light routine.
Set along a network of lagoons and greenbelts, Redwood Shores concentrates condos and townhomes with a relaxed, resort-adjacent vibe. Many communities offer water views, boardwalk paths, pocket parks, clubhouses, pools, and fitness rooms. Townhomes frequently include attached garages and patios; condos may have elevators and secure parking. If you’re drawn to morning runs along the water or easy loop rides after work, Redwood Shores pairs convenience with a vacation feel.
Just south and east of downtown, Redwood Oaks and Palm Park situate you close to El Camino, neighborhood retail, and the train—without the bustle of the core. Expect a mix of mid-century condo buildings, tasteful infill, and townhome rows with efficient footprints, in-unit laundry, and assigned or deeded parking. It’s a pragmatic choice for buyers who want access and value in equal measure.
East of 101, Friendly Acres has emerged as a commuter-friendly pocket with quick routes to major corridors and a growing mix of nearby eateries. Inventory includes small condo complexes, stacked-flat buildings, and newer townhomes. If proximity to work and weekend access to the shoreline trails are priorities, this area is worth close attention.
Bordering downtown, these corridors provide a steady stream of attached options: walk-ups, elevator condo buildings, and townhomes within biking distance of the station and Courthouse Square. Interiors frequently feature open great rooms, updated kitchens, and private outdoor space for coffee or evening wind-downs.
Primarily single-family, the west-side neighborhoods occasionally include select townhome pockets. You’ll trade immediate walkability for leafy streets, larger footprints, and swift access to Jefferson/Edgewood connectors and nearby parks.
Known for period architecture and character streets near downtown, Mount Carmel itself has limited condo inventory. Buyers often live adjacent to the neighborhood to capture the same walk-to-everything lifestyle with the convenience of an HOA.
Redwood City addresses are primarily served by Redwood City School District (K–8) and Sequoia Union High School District (9–12), with magnet and program options that vary by address. A number of respected private schools in and around the city broaden your choices. Because boundaries and program availability can change, always verify the current assignment with the district for the property you’re considering. If schools are central to your search, we’ll curate listings inside your preferred boundaries and confirm the mapping before you tour.
Redwood City is built for movement. US-101 and I-280 provide north-south flexibility; Woodside Road (84), Jefferson, Whipple, and Veterans/Seaport connect neighborhoods to freeways, downtown, and the waterfront. The Redwood City Caltrain station offers frequent weekday and weekend service, and well-marked bike lanes link residential pockets to parks, schools, and retail. SFO and SJC are realistic for flight options in either direction.
The city’s center of gravity is Courthouse Square, where concerts, outdoor movies, festivals, and holiday events keep the calendar lively. Dining runs the gamut—from bakeries and coffee bars to bistros and patios—and weekly errands are an easy circuit on foot or bike. On rest days, choose neighborhood parks and sports fields, or head to the Redwood Shores boardwalks and lagoon loops. West-side residents tap trailheads and open space within a short drive, while everyone takes advantage of groceries, fitness studios, and services sprinkled across town. Whether you gravitate to downtown patio dining or sunset walks by the water, Redwood City makes it simple to live well without traveling far.
“Condo” and “townhome” describe both appearance and legal form—key for cost and responsibility.
We’ll confirm the legal classification, the community’s maintenance matrix (who fixes what), the master insurance coverage, and the rules that matter—pets, rentals, architectural approvals—so you know exactly what you’re buying.
A smart diligence playbook avoids surprises:
Redwood City’s attached market is typically active and competitive, centered on three demand drivers: downtown walkability, Redwood Shores waterfront living, and transit/corridor proximity. Pricing reflects micro-location (quiet interior street vs. corridor), building age and amenities (elevator, pool, fitness, EV infrastructure), HOA health (reserves, dues, assessment history), and the quality of interior updates. Newer construction and thoroughly remodeled units command premiums; well-located classics with remodel potential attract buyers looking to customize. If you’re early in your process, we’ll build a custom market brief—building-by-building comps, neighborhood absorption, upcoming listings, and a private tour plan matched to your timing.
Focus on Downtown & Courthouse Square, plus adjacent pockets along the Jefferson/El Camino corridors. You’ll be a short stroll from restaurants, events, and the Redwood City station. We’ll target blocks that balance proximity with your preferences for building age, noise level, and parking/storage.
Yes—Redwood Shores concentrates lagoon-front and waterfront-adjacent condos/townhomes with trails and pocket parks. We’ll compare HOA dues and reserves, shoreline/lagoon maintenance responsibilities, and any dock/boardwalk rules so you can evaluate lifestyle and costs alongside downtown options.
Often. Private-garage townhomes frequently allow Level-2 charging with HOA approval and adequate panel capacity. In condo-form buildings, feasibility depends on shared EV infrastructure, the location of your space, and the HOA approval process. We’ll confirm costs, permissions, and timelines before you commit.
Dues commonly fund exterior maintenance, landscaping, common-area utilities/cleaning, professional management, master-policy insurance, and amenity upkeep (elevators, pools, fitness rooms, courtyards) depending on the building. We’ll compare multiple HOAs side-by-side so you know exactly what’s included—and what isn’t.
Most HOAs restrict short-term rentals (e.g., minimum 30-day leases). Policies vary by community and can change via board vote. We’ll verify current rules, enforcement history, and any pending changes before you write.
Select Peninsula communities offer age-restricted residences; availability in Redwood City varies. If that’s a priority, we’ll surface current options and review residency rules and services.
