Favorite Streets: 1000 and 1100 block homes of Eden Bower, Redwood City

A few months back, a client asked me to focus on any upcoming, available homes on Eden Bower Ln, Silver Hill Rd and Lonesome Pine Rd. I’d seen homes here before, but I’d never focused on the area with particular attention. Surprising this time around a feeling of joy struck me. After driving up Eden Bower, stopping in front of a few houses, and driving back, I thought, “Wow, I’d love to own a home here.” Just last week, I drove the street again and felt the same feeling: therefore Eden Bower is one of my favorite streets.

In the neighborhood of Farm Hill Estates, Eden Bower is situated on a ridge just south of Farm Hill Boulevard. The street is particularly quiet since it ends after three blocks in a cul-de-sac (about 40 homes total). The eastern side of the street enjoys sweeping views of the bay. The view focuses on the Peninsula but includes San Jose and San Francisco on the periphery. The houses are mainly ranchers, which I’m particularly fond of because the typical rancher floor plan flows very well. The lots are particularly large, ranging from 10,450 sq ft on the low end and 31,000 sq ft on the high end. Finally, the associated public is Roy Cloud (K-8). Strong parent support and teaching make it one of the top ranked public schools on the Peninsula.

In summary, the east side of Eden Bower is a great street for the following reasons: well-built homes that suit a variety of lifestyles, large lots, sweeping bay views, a quiet street and good public schools. Say location-location-location with me. So what’s the downside? These homes are rarely available. Since 1998, only 10 homes on the south side have sold.

What to expect:

• Bedrooms: 3-5
• Bathrooms: 2-3.5
• Interior: 2000 to 2500 sq ft
• Exterior: 10,500 to 20,000 sq ft
• Purchase Price: $1,3 to $1,55M
