Mount Carmel

A nice little neighborhood with sidewalks, walking distance to downtown Redwood City and the train, and in the “flat part of town”. It is mixed apartments (near Jefferson and El Camino) and houses (increasing in property value as you move further towards the hills and further from apartments/El Camino). Since the dot com boom it’s been gentrifying rapidly. There are a lot of small churches. It is about half and half white/latino population with a small % of Tongan/South Pacific residents and a Tongan church. The schools are Sequoia High, MIT middle school, John Gill, North Star. The dividing lines for this neighborhood are El Camino, Jefferson, Whipple, and maybe Alameda de las Pulgas. North of Whipple and west of Alameda, houses are fancier. South of Jefferson the neighborhood becomes denser, there are more duplexes and apartments; it’s still super nice but is definitely somewhat less wealthy of a neighborhood.
