Situated centrally between San Francisco and Silicon Valley near Palo Alto, the town of Woodside is a charming, rural community enveloped by nature. Majestic stately oaks and redwood trees line the streets and provide a relaxing retreat for many Bay Area families or for anyone who craves an escape from city living. Ride your horse on one of the many local trails, take a picturesque stroll through the Filoli Gardens, or indulge in a nightcap at Madera Lounge. Located 9 miles from Stanford University, 30 miles from San Francisco Airport, 22 miles from the main Apple Campus and just a short commute to the rest of Silicon Valley and the tech centers of San Jose, Mountain View and Menlo Park (Google and Facebook headquarters). Woodside somehow manages to be close to everything while also seeming to be miles from everywhere.
