About

Explorers

Explorers, located between Foster City Boulevard and Shell Boulevard, is a waterfront and residential Foster City neighborhood with lagoon-side paths and low-slung mid-century townhomes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Foster City Dog Park and the curve of Shell Boulevard, where joggers, cyclists, and stroller traffic trace the waterline. Architectural lines stay clean and coastal, with planned streetscapes and frequent glimpses of sailboats and kayaks. Edgewater Place anchors the local routine with a compact mix of services and casual bites. Nearby, the Foster City Lagoon and Leo J. Ryan Park set the pace for outdoor time and community gatherings. Commutes and errands often funnel toward Hillsdale Boulevard and the Bridgepointe area.

Local insights from Redfin agents

Buyers have a few more options than they did a year ago, but Foster City's waterfront lifestyle continues to attract steady demand. Well-maintained homes near the lagoons are still the first to capture buyers' attention.
