A Muni streetcar station has 4 lines that whisk commuters right downtown. There is also very easy freeway access for Peninsula commuters. People who've made their home in Forest Hill take great pride in the neighborhood, and make for very friendly neighbors. The Forest Hill Clubhouse, built in 1919 by well-known architect Bernard Maybeck, is a frequent gathering spot for the Forest Hill Association, Garden Club and even hosts an annual chamber music festival, as well as holiday-themed events and private parties. You will love strolling Forest Hill's shaded streets, whether ogling the many unique homes and gardens or seeking out one of several hidden stairway walks.

Visitors will be invited to enjoy watching the City lights come up from the rear deck.

Opportunity Awaits!

Some exciting new additions are developing in the Civic Center and Mid-Market neighborhoods! With amenities that include some of the best access to San Francisco's public transportation system, it's surprising that an area so centrally located has remained largely free of new developments and residential grow. This phenomenon is in the process of changing! 

NUMBER OF THE DAY - 2.61%

That's the average interest rate on a 15-year fixed mortgage last week, a record low, according to Freddie Mac. The rate for a 30-year mortgage fell to 3.4 percent, slightly above the low of 3.31 percent in November. Buyers competing for a tight supply of homes for sale are pushing up prices, while low mortgages rates fuel demand.
