Score Breakdown
Our Take
Woodside has top‑tier walkability, great transit, and a short 12‑minute ride into Manhattan, which makes it attractive for commuters and remote workers. However, the housing market is expensive relative to the median income, and parking can be a hassle, so it’s worth weighing the cost before moving in.
