Sea Cliff / Lake St.
Sea Cliff is an immaculate residential enclave with manicured lawns
and impressive gardens. Most of the houses were built between 1920 and
1929 in the Mediterranean style. Visible between the single family,
freestanding homes are slices of the dramatic panorama of the Golden
Gate and the Marin headlands. Sea Cliff is the only SF neighborhood
that touches the Ocean. Nestled below the dramatic seaside homes is
China Beach, named after the fishing shacks that once huddled here, and
Baker Beach. If you like green open space there is Lands End, which is
part of the Golden Gate National Park, directly to the west of Sea
Cliff. Nestled south of the Presidio and east of Sea Cliff is the
neighborhood of Lake. Mostly Edwardian homes and apartments line the
streets of this quaint neighborhood that provides easy access to
Presidio Golf Course and has very ample parking.
Sea Cliff is one of the most picturesque and desirable residential
areas in the country. Spanish architecture dominates these magnificent
homes, perched on the cliffs just east of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Lincoln Park borders the neighborhood on the west along with, at its
highest point, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor museum,
home of Rodin?s "The Thinker".
