Central Woodside is primetime Woodside, home to some of Woodside’s grandest estates and Valley movers and shakers. This area is convenient to both downtown and 280. Its prestigious drive, Mountain Home Road, runs from the quaint village of Woodside to Portola Road, just by Sand Hill Road. While homes range from grand villas to world renowned estates, Central Woodsiders prefer understated wealth. A dense perimeter of trees and high hedges provide residents' privacy, rather than ornate walls. Horse culture is deeply engrained into this affluent part of Woodside. Horse houses dot this neighborhood, and the Village of Woodside maintains a far-reaching system of horse trails that connect to estates in Central Woodside.
