Living inBernal Heights.
Bernal Heights rises just south of the Mission District, crowned by Bernal Hill — an open-space park whose summit looks out across the city, the bay and the hills beyond.
Cortland Avenue is the neighborhood's main street, with cafés, restaurants and independent shops. Precita Park lies along the northern edge, near the Mission, and BART stations at 24th Street Mission and Glen Park are a short ride away.
What you'll find here
Mainly single-family homes: cottages, Victorians and Edwardians, many on steep streets, with some flats and small condominium buildings. Homes on the upper slopes often have city or bay views.
Before you buy
Streets can be steep and narrow, and some homes are reached by stairs. Many houses here have been expanded over the years, so review permits and the disclosure package closely.
