Redwood City is a very quite town but yet, surrounded by some of the most beautiful trees. It's away from the bustling cities. It has it's own community but yet not that many outsiders dare to venture in and integrate as it doesn't offer much growth. The whole place however is very scenic and quiet. A perfect place to relax.
Favorite places would definitely be the Redwood Trees themselves. Amazing tall majestic trees that surrounds the coast and forests.
