This corner of San Francisco consists of 3 distinct residential areas including Jordan Park, Laurel Heights and Lone Mountain. It's a quiet neighborhood that was even quieter long ago when it was covered with cemeteries. Now it's a secret part of San Francisco that people who are new to the housing market don't find out about right away. That's because there's little turnover and people who are lucky enough to live here tend to stick around for awhile. Housing types and amenities will vary here depending on which part you go to. Around the USF Lone Mountain campus, you'll see elegant homes and flats from the 1920s and 1950s on cul-de-sac streets like Hemway and Ewing. Jordan Park, north of Geary, is a delightful find with its broad tree-lined streets and spectacular 1920s mansions. Finally, the Laurel Village Shopping Center on California Street anchors a neat little pocket of 1950s homes and apartments set on curving streets with front lawns. |
