Redwood City Reviews
Rating 4.1 out of 5 123 reviews
It's a great place to live because there are a lot of things for residents to do. I love the variety of places to eat at, activities that downtown Redwood City offers. and a great public library system! I just wish housing was more affordable.
I have been living in Redwood City for almost my entire life and so much have changed here. If you love living in an urban area then this city is perfect! Downtown Redwood City is transforming into a city life with new tech companies coming in which adds more jobs and opportunities for anyone interested in the tech field. The weather here is not extreme like other cities, it never stays too hot nor too cold and that is because the city is surrounded by beautiful greenery. There are also many places to visit such as historic buildings that are located in downtown Redwood City. Lastly, the housing here is great as there are many beautiful houses here in a very safe neighborhood. However, cities are not perfect, the main problem with the city is the heavy traffic and the increased cost of living.
Redwood City is beautiful. It is so diverse, and entertaining. Redwood City’s downtown contains a movie theater, nail salons, barbers, restaurants, bakery’s and more stores. Downtown is near an amazing high school, Sequoia High School, and near businesses and possible job sites for the younger generations.
