Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Redwood City is located approximately 27 miles from San Francisco and about 6 miles from Stanford University. A center of high-tech industry and the mid-point of the beautiful San Francisco Peninsula, Redwood City is known for its great climate and profound sense of community. The city enjoys 255 sunny days a year, which it boasts via the city slogan: “Climate Best by Government Test“.

Downtown Redwood City comes alive with locals walking the streets, retail shops, delicious restaurants, and community events! You can’t miss City Square as you walk down Broadway Street, which is where the city hosts many public events, including Oktoberfest, Music on the Square, art shows, dancing and so much more. Be sure to pop into the San Mateo County History Museum and learn about the history of San Mateo County and the Peninsula. A gem hiding within the museum is Encore Books on the Square, a used bookstore selling a broad array of titles.

Redwood City, along with most of the Bay Area, enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate, with warm, dry summers and cool, relatively wet winters. The National Weather Service, which maintains both a forecast center and a cooperative office in Redwood City, reports that December is the coolest month and July is the warmest month.
