Portola

Tucked away between Bernal Heights and the Bayview, this small family-friendly neighborhood is also called the Garden District, referring to the area’s agricultural heritage and the abundance of green spaces: parklets, green houses, nurseries, and larger-than-average backyards. The neighborhood’s sunny microclimate is ideal for growing plants, fruit trees, and vegetables. The quiet and clean residential streets are lined with single-family homes, while San Bruno Avenue, the district’s lively shopping strip, is occupied by small businesses: restaurants, bars, grocers, Asian noodle shops, and cafès.

The Portola Garden Tour, where residents open up their backyards to the community, is a 15-year-old tradition started as a fundraiser for the local library, and is a big hit with San Franciscans ever since. Portola’s close proximity to HWY 101 and 280 makes it an ideal home for commuters.
