Welcome to Woodside
Wealthy equestrian community with spectacular homes.
Woodside is a wealthy equestrian community covered with towering oaks, redwoods, and Douglas fir trees in the hills above Silicon Valley. Horses are a huge part of the life and culture of this beautiful wooded town.
Woodside’s spectacular real estate includes some of the grandest properties in the United States.
Some of the many notable homes here include Oracle CEO Larry Ellison’s $200 million recreation of a Japanese feudal castle and rock legend Neil Young’s sprawling ranch and recording studio. Many Woodside homes are geared toward the equestrian lifestyle with barns and horse stables.
Woodside’s peaceful country lifestyle draws in many prominent families and individuals. Residents include powerful tech founders and CEOs along with famous actors, sports stars, and musicians. Steve Jobs was in the process of remodeling his Woodside home at the time of his death. Other recognizable names in the neighborhood include actress Michelle Pfeiffer and movie producer husband David E. Kelley, billionaire investor Charles E. Schwab, and CEOs and founders of companies including Apple, GoPro, Siebel Systems, Softbank, Sony, and Symantec.

Woodside’s quaint town center includes businesses such as Roberts Market, a long-serving neighborhood grocery store with gourmet produce and foodstuffs, meat and seafood counters, mouthwatering deli sandwiches, and a horse tie-up outside. The Village Bakery offers delicious freshly baked goods along with Californian farm-to-table cuisine paired with an award-winning wine list. The kitsch décor and American comfort classics at Buck’s of Woodside have made it a favorite gathering place of many Silicon Valley pioneers.
