• Bernal Heights San Francisco Sunset District Home Values: What’s it worth?

  It must be said that if you want clear skies and warm days, the Sunset may not be for you! Being someone who complains EVERY summer about how freaking cold, windy and depressing it is here even in the “fogfree-ish” zones like the Mission, Bernal Heights and Potrero Hill, I have to say that if you want real warmth, move to Palm Springs!

• St. Francis Boulevard and Portola Drive Tucked Away - Neighborhood Spotlight; St. Francis, West Portal

  Quiet, residential, affluent and secluded, St. Francis Wood and West Portal are two of San Francisco’s lovely little secrets. Curving, tree-lined streets absent of overhead wires gibe the neighborhoods quaint, village-like appeal. The gates of the St. Francis Boulevard-Portola Drive entry and the fountain in the circular plaza on St. Francis Boulevard were designed by noted Beauz Arts era architect John Galen Howard.

  Food and fashion have found their footing in the area behind the Opera Plaza. There may be no finer show shopping that in Bulo or Gimme Shoes. The same patrons of the arts now enjoy pre-theatre dining at Absinthe, Jardiniere and the Hayes St. Grill. Our personal favorite is still Suppenkuche, a German restaurant with a venison gnocchi that’s top-notch and a selection of imported German suds guaranteed to transport you to a Munich beer garden.

• Castro St. & 18th St. New to the Area? Neighborhood Spotlight: Noe Valley, The Mission and The Castro

  If the rundown Victorians in the Mission are the “before” picture, the shining beauties of the Castro are the “after.”  First-class taste and a profusion of discretionary income have meant good things for this leafy residential zone.  Approximately 85% of the Castro’s residents are gay, lesbian or transgender and the neighborhood is a mecca for gay tourists from around the world.  The corner of 18th and Castro has been dubbed the gayest spot in the world and it was from there the community leaders organized their neighbors as political force in the 1970’s.
