Skywood Acres is in the heart of Silicon Valley in the town of Woodside. Our town lies between San Francisco and San Jose, with many neighborhood residents working at technology companies including Apple, Meta, Google, Stanford Hospital, and Stanford University. Sand Hill Road is a short drive.

Skywood Acres is made up of about 75 homes in a natural setting. The neighborhood is adjoined on three sides by parkland and open space: Wunderlich County Park, Thornewood Open Space Preserve, and La Honda Open Space Preserve. Pedestrian and equestrian trails connect the neighborhood with the parks.

Some Skywood Acres homes have breathtaking views that show the full expanse of the San Francisco peninsula from the Bay Bridge to San Jose. Others have views of Stanford University's campus and the Dish.

The homes vary in size and type but lot sizes typically range from 1 to 5 acres, and were built from approximately 1960 to today. Some lot sizes are as large as 8 or 10 acres, featuring unique designs, including Bauhaus, mid-century modern, ranch, prairie, modernist, and contemporary.

Skywood Acres is perfectly located: it's high enough to look out over the marine layer of coastal fog that often covers lower elevations in the morning, but far enough from the ocean to enjoy full sun nearly all the time. It's the sunniest corner of the San Francisco peninsula!
