Neighborhood

Mount Sutro, the crown of Forest Knolls, is one of the 7 hills of San Francisco, and offers an incredible 61 acres of forested open space reserve, owned by UCSF and positioned directly across the street from 189 Crestmont!   Contiguous to this 61 acres is an additional 7 acres called the interior greenbelt owned by the City of San Francisco.  There are two trailheads close by, one on Crestmont Drive & one on Christopher Drive, leading to over 5 miles of hiking, biking, on-leash dog walking areas and open recreational space. Home to wildlife including over 40 species of birds such as the great horned owl & woodpeckers, and filled with Eucalyptus trees and a variety of plant life, this treasure is yours to enjoy in Forest Knolls!  Please visit SutroStewards.org for more information about this incredible natural reserve in the heart of San Francisco!

The Forest Knolls neighborhood is also known for incredible views from many of the houses.  Built in the 1950's and 1960's by Standard Building Company, the winding streets consist of only fully detached single family homes.  Some residences,  including 189 Crestmont, are positioned to capture the very best vistas of San Francisco from South to West to North!   See incredible sunsets, views of the Pacific Ocean, Golden Gate Park, and even the Marin headlands from this vantage point!

Because Forest Knolls is close to the geographical center of San Francisco, it is also close to fantastic Inner Sunset retail, restaurants & cafes (15 minute walk), Golden Gate Park, and great transportation such as the N-Judah light rail line, several bus lines, and Forest Hill Station.  Also nearby are West Portal and Cole Valley retail, cafes and restaurants.  Highly rated Clarendon Elementary School is the assigned public elementary school for the area.

Enjoy the good life in Forest Knolls with its proximity to nature,  incredible views, and in a tranquil setting yet near so many neighborhood amenities. A unique neighborhood in the heart of San Francisco!
