ordan Park
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.
The Jordan Park neighborhood consists of mostly single family homes
and offers coveted views, excellent transportation and easy access to
shopping and dining.
Laurel Heights is a soccer mom?s haven, an upscale mix of apartment
buildings and large homes in a sunny setting. Laurel Heights Village on
California Street is a favorite shopping area for all ages with its
coffee shops, supermarket, bakery, kitchenware and clothing stores.
Second-hand shops, antique stores, and boutiques can be found on nearby
Sacramento Street.
