Bernal Heights is located on the southeast side of San Francisco on a hill rising above the Mission District and Noe Valley. Ten years ago, everyone considered Bernal's North Slope to be the better part of the neighborhood. That's changed with the advent of commercial development along Cortland Street, which now boasts a clutch of nice restaurants, a grocery store, bookstore, and other small shops. Bernal Heights is one of the last parts of San Francisco where a Victorian can be found for a reasonable price in a sunny neighborhood. If Victorians are not up your alley, then look no further than St. Mary's Park. This is a great section of Bernal Heights and features 1920s and 1930s bungalow homes with tidy front yards. |
