SF District 4

Hillside Homes, Scenic Streets & Quiet Residential Living

District 4 spans the high ground of San Francisco’s west-central region, where winding roads, forested slopes, and residential tranquility define the landscape. This district is home to some of the city’s most distinctive hillside neighborhoods, many offering sweeping views, spacious lots, and timeless architectural charm.


Neighborhoods like West Portal, Forest Hill, and Miraloma Park offer a blend of classic single-family homes and convenient access to transit corridors. Areas such as Midtown Terrace, Mount Davidson Manor, and Sherwood Forest are known for their curving streets, mature trees, and a calm, tucked-away feel that contrasts with the city’s busier districts.



Further west, enclaves like Monterey Heights, Balboa Terrace, and Westwood Park showcase elegant homes and manicured blocks with a strong sense of neighborhood identity. The eastern edge of the district includes Diamond Heights and Glen Park, which bring a mix of open space, walkable commercial hubs, and strategic freeway access.


From the lush pockets of Forest Knolls and Saint Francis Wood to the quiet charm of Ingleside Terrace and Westwood Highlands, District 4 is ideal for those seeking a slower pace and elevated setting—literally and figuratively—while remaining well-connected to the heart of the city.
