Redwood Estates pairs mountain tranquility with quick connections to Silicon Valley. Set along the Highway 17 corridor above Los Gatos and within an easy hop to Scotts Valley, residents wake to towering redwoods and end the day with city conveniences just down the hill in San Jose. Weekend plans practically make themselves with nearby trail systems at the Midpeninsula-managed Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve, shoreline walks and paddling at Lexington Reservoir County Park, and sweeping ridge hikes in Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve.
Families value the small-community feel and strong local schools. The Loma Prieta Joint Union School District serves elementary and middle grades, while high schoolers typically attend campuses in the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District. For enrichment, the Town’s cultural calendar, parks, and programs are just minutes away via the Town of Los Gatos. Public safety and emergency preparedness resources are robust in the surrounding Santa Clara County, including services from the Santa Clara County Fire Department.
Housing here ranges from classic A-frames and cabin-style retreats to thoughtfully updated contemporaries, many with decks oriented toward filtered canyon views and spectacular sunsets. Whether you’re drawn by quiet mornings among the redwoods or a shorter commute paired with weekend trail time, Redwood Estates makes mountain living remarkably accessible.
