Bernal Heights

Hilltop panoramas and a close-knit neighborhood feel.

The Character

Bernal Heights rises around a grassy hilltop park with panoramic views across the city and bay, and it remains one of the sunnier, more sheltered parts of San Francisco.

Cortland Avenue serves as a genuine main street, and the housing mix runs from small cottages to remodeled homes on steep, winding blocks.

What To Weigh

  • 01Grade is significant; parking, stairs and access vary considerably by address.
  • 02Many homes are compact, so layout and any expansion history deserve review.
  • 03View corridors depend heavily on elevation and orientation.
