A quiet, tree-lined enclave of curving streets tucked beside Forest Hill and West Portal.
Forest Hill Extension unfolds just south of Forest Hill proper, across Dewey Boulevard, where curving, terraced streets trace the natural contours of the hillside. Laid out in the early 1900s on land once part of Adolph Sutro's estate and built out largely through the 1920s, '30s, and '40s, the neighborhood offers a quieter, more intimate counterpart to its famous neighbor — a collection of detached single-family homes, from Period Revival and storybook cottages to midcentury infill, set along leafy, lamppost-lined blocks.
Nearby, the historic Forest Hill Muni Station — a designated San Francisco landmark and the deepest stop on the Muni Metro system — connects residents downtown in minutes, while West Portal Avenue's walkable commercial strip, just a few blocks away, supplies neighborhood cafes, restaurants, and everyday shopping. Mount Davidson and Glen Canyon parks round out the area with nearby green space for hiking and fresh air.
For buyers drawn to San Francisco's classic west-side character — winding streets, mature landscaping, and a close-knit, low-key community — Forest Hill Extension is one of the city's most rewarding hidden corners.
