About Edgewood Park, Redwood City

Edgewood Park is one of Redwood City's northernmost neighborhoods, stretching from El Camino Real west to Alameda de las Pulgas, with Whipple Avenue to the south and Cordilleras Creek along the San Carlos border. Edgewood Road follows the creek through the neighborhood, giving it irregular, tree-shaded blocks rather than a strict grid. Edgewood Park Redwood City real estate ranges from some of the city's oldest surviving houses to large estates and newer custom homes.

Moving to Edgewood Park

Moving to Edgewood Park puts you between downtown Redwood City and the San Carlos line, with quick access to El Camino Real. The neighborhood is primarily residential, with most businesses clustered along El Camino Real, including a shopping strip at Whipple Avenue. Street patterns shaped by Cordilleras Creek create a varied landscape of cul-de-sacs, lanes, and larger parcels set back behind landscaping. Note that this neighborhood is distinct from Edgewood County Park, the nature preserve near Interstate 280, which shares the Edgewood name.

Cost of Living & Housing in Edgewood Park

Edgewood Park is one of Redwood City's premium neighborhoods, particularly on the larger parcels north of Edgewood Road, where some estate properties sit on lots approaching an acre or more. South of Edgewood Road, lots are smaller and the homes resemble those in neighboring Mount Carmel, with a mix of early twentieth-century houses, mid-century homes, and remodels. A home on Finger Avenue is listed in the city's historic inventory as dating to the 1850s, and newer enclaves of luxury single-family homes have been built nearby. Condominiums and apartment buildings near Wellesley Crescent, Edgewood Road, and Whipple Avenue provide additional ownership and rental options.

Getting Around Edgewood Park

Whipple Avenue offers a direct connection to Highway 101, while Edgewood Road climbs west toward Interstate 280. El Camino Real along the eastern edge provides SamTrans bus service and an easy route to downtown Redwood City and San Carlos. The Redwood City Caltrain station is a short drive or bike ride away for commutes to San Francisco and the South Bay. This central position on the Peninsula makes reaching Silicon Valley employers straightforward by car or train.

Local Amenities & Things to Do in Edgewood Park

Wellesley Crescent Park is the neighborhood's own green space, a small, tree-shaded park with lawn and benches, recognizable by the pair of lion statues at its entrance. Stafford Park in Mount Carmel and the trails of Edgewood County Park and Natural Preserve are both a short trip away. Everyday shopping, coffee, and casual dining are available along El Camino Real, including the center at El Camino Real and Whipple Avenue. Downtown Redwood City and the restaurants and shops of downtown San Carlos are each just a few minutes away.

Schools & Education in Edgewood Park

Edgewood Park is served by the Redwood City School District for elementary and middle grades and by the Sequoia Union High School District for high school. Clifford School, a K-8 campus, is among the nearby district schools that serve this part of Redwood City, and Sequoia High School is located a short distance south. Because Edgewood Park borders San Carlos, it is especially important to confirm which district a specific property falls under. Always verify school assignments by address directly with the districts before making a purchase decision.
