Woodside residents love Hidden Valley’s rustic, peaceful character. This neighborhood, which comprises only one hundred homes, stretches over acres of vineyards, horse pastures and natural landscaping. Some homes boast views of the Bay and Windy Hill. At the turn of the century, this area was a weekend destination where San Francisco’s elite retreated to their rustic cabins. Many of these older homes have been replaced by larger homes. Hidden Valley is known for its larger, gated properties. This close-knit community enjoys an annual Christmas party, dog walking and horseback riding on local trails, and socializing dinner parties.
