Perched atop the undulating hills of San Francisco, the Forest Hill Extension neighborhood offers unparalleled vistas of the city skyline. Its enchanting streets meander through a verdant landscape of trees, gardens, and surrounded by the serene parks of Twin Peaks, Mt Davidson, and Glen Canyon creating an idyllic haven away from the urban hustle.
Designed in the early 20th century with an eye to embrace the natural landscape, its winding streets and spacious lots make this a great place to call home. Originally part of Adolph Sutro's estate, the visionary businessman and former mayor of San Francisco, the land was acquired by the Forest Hill Association in the early 1900s. Under their stewardship, it blossomed into a residential neighborhood with lamppost-lined streets. Architectural styles of the homes are diverse, spanning from stately mansions to humble bungalows, a reflection of its diverse community.
Modern-day Forest Hill Extension retains its magnetic allure, celebrated for its panoramic views, tight-knit community spirit, strategic location near West Portal, major Muni transit routes, and access to the 280 and 101 highways. Its historical significance and distinctive character have woven it into the cultural fabric of the city, standing as a tribute to the timeless charm of San Francisco's western neighborhoods.
