Overview
Population Served: Adults (Ages 18–64) with severe mental health challenges that have required placement in a state hospital or other intensive behavioral health setting.
Neighborhoods+Young professionals and healthcare workers frequently look at walkable Downtown and Centennial for apartment living near transit, dining, and the Caltrain station. Established neighborhoods like Woodside Plaza offer mid-century single-family homes with a quieter, community-oriented feel, while Farm Hill and Emerald Hills provide lower-density, upscale hillside living with scenic views. Across Highway 101, Redwood Shores serves as a distinct, master-planned waterfront community characterized by lagoons, modern townhomes, and a peaceful suburban atmosphere.

Getting around+Redwood City sits centrally on the Peninsula along Highway 101 and El Camino Real, located roughly six miles from Stanford University and its associated medical facilities, with San Francisco roughly 25 to 27 miles north and San Jose about 24 to 27 miles south. Downtown Redwood City is a major transit node where all electrified Caltrain trains stop, running every 15 to 20 minutes during weekday rush hours and every 30 minutes on weekends. Local SamTrans bus routes connect the downtown station with Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and San Francisco International Airport, though rail transit is limited to Caltrain as BART does not serve the city directly. While the downtown core supports car-free living, outer neighborhoods remain car-dependent, and cyclists face limited crossing infrastructure along Highway 101.

Outdoors+Nature access is highlighted by the 467-acre Edgewood Park & Natural Preserve, which features wooded trails, panoramic Bay Area ridge views, and prominent springtime wildflower blooms. Hiking enthusiasts also frequent nearby Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve and the architectural grounds of the Pulgas Water Temple. To the east, Redwood Shores and the Bair Island Ecological Reserve offer flat bayfront trails and boardwalks through tidal marshes for birdwatching, running, and water access for kayaking and paddleboarding, while Red Morton Community Park provides central athletic fields and open lawns.

Living in Redwood City
Redwood City stands out on the San Francisco Peninsula for its blend of civic energy, transit connectivity, and exceptional Mediterranean weather—celebrated by its historic motto, 'Climate Best by Government Test.' Situated roughly midway between San Francisco and San Jose, and just six miles north of Stanford's major medical facilities, the city offers healthcare workers practical regional commute options. Its revitalized downtown around Courthouse Square and the Fox Theatre operates as an active hub filled with heated outdoor patios, local taquerias, and a Caltrain station where electrified trains stop every 15 to 20 minutes during weekday rush hours. Housing choices adapt to different lifestyles, from walkable apartments near Broadway to family-friendly bungalows in Woodside Plaza, hillside retreats in Farm Hill, and waterfront townhomes in Redwood Shores. Nature is right at hand, whether hiking among spring wildflowers in Edgewood Park or paddling through Bair Island. While Peninsula housing competition and Highway 101 bottlenecks require realistic planning, Redwood City provides nurses an engaging, sun-drenched home base with distinct community character.
