Woodside is a small town in San Mateo County that reaches west into the Santa Cruz Mountains, with a population of 5,309 in the 2020 Census and 11.47 square miles of land, per the U.S. Census Bureau. It was incorporated in November 1956.
Local landmarks include the Woodside Store, built in 1854 and now a county museum and California Historical Landmark No. 93, plus Huddart Park and Wunderlich Park, with redwood forests and riding trails. The historic Filoli estate and gardens sit just outside town limits at 86 Cañada Road, with a Woodside address.
Woodside Elementary School, a TK through 8 school on Woodside Road, is the only school inside town limits. Parts of the area are served by the Las Lomitas, Portola Valley and Redwood City elementary districts instead, so check the district for any address. The whole town falls within the Sequoia Union High School District, and Woodside High School sits just outside town limits in an unincorporated area.
For sellers, a sale-to-list ratio under 100% and a 41-day median mean pricing and preparation matter. A home priced right from the start, like Harcross Road, can still go under contract within a week and sell at full price. For buyers, the numbers leave some room to negotiate on homes that have sat, while the best-presented properties still move quickly. Redfin's Woodside figures can include nearby 94062 addresses outside town limits.
For Woodside sellers, Michael starts with a pricing plan built on recent sales and on what the lot allows, since acreage and zoning drive value here. He can use Compass Concierge to pay up front for improvements like staging, landscaping and repairs, which he describes in his post on preparing a Woodside acreage estate with Compass Concierge. Sellers who want privacy can sell off-market or as a Compass Private Exclusive, with NDAs when needed. See his seller services or get a Woodside home valuation.
For Woodside buyers, Michael checks the things that are easy to miss before an offer: zoning and lot size, septic and water service, fire hazard zone and defensible space work, ASRB history for past additions, and whether the address is inside town limits. He also helps buyers relocating from out of state or abroad through his international guidance service. Learn more on his buyer services page or search Woodside homes for sale.
