Woodland Acres
Half-acre+ lots south of Foothill Expressway — horse properties and custom estates.
Woodland Acres homes for sale occupy one of the most coveted tiers of the Los Altos market. Located south of Foothill Expressway and bordering Los Altos Hills, Woodland Acres features half-acre and larger lots, including some parcels that retain horse-property rights — a genuine rarity this deep in Silicon Valley.
Housing is dominated by custom estates — ranch on acreage, Mediterranean, contemporary, and newer architect-designed modern homes. The neighborhood feels much more like Los Altos Hills in character than like Downtown Los Altos, while technically remaining inside the city’s more accessible tax and services boundaries. Covington Elementary serves the area, feeding into Egan Junior High and Los Altos High.
Prices typically run $5M to $10M+, with the largest parcels and most architecturally distinctive homes at the top of the range. Turnover here is extremely low — multi-generational ownership is common, and off-market activity is the norm when transactions happen.
