Sherwood Forest blends quiet, hilltop privacy with classic mid-century architecture on the southwest shoulder of Mount Davidson—one of San Francisco’s smallest, most tucked-away neighborhoods. Detached single-family homes—ranch, split-level, and custom builds from the 1930s–1960s—sit on larger lots with garages, usable yards, and decks oriented to Pacific, canyon, and skyline views. Daily life stays simple and close: West Portal’s cafés, restaurants, and neighborhood cinema are minutes away; Ocean Avenue adds markets and services; nearby St. Francis Wood and Miraloma Park bring pocket greens and tree-lined streets. Nature is a constant with Mount Davidson’s wooded summit and Glen Canyon Park’s trails, crags, and modern rec center just down the hill.
Getting around is straightforward for a hill neighborhood: quick access to 19th Ave/CA-1 and I-280 for North Bay and Peninsula trips; West Portal Muni Metro (K/L/M/T) connects to downtown and Mission Bay; and practical bike drops head toward Valencia and the Embarcadero. Residents value low-traffic cul-de-sacs, easier parking than denser cores, and sunnier breaks between coastal fog banks. Housing ranges from well-kept mid-century classics to design-forward remodels with ADU potential—delivering space, light, and enduring curb appeal. For buyers seeking refined privacy, trailhead proximity, and true city connectivity—without downtown bustle—Sherwood Forest offers relaxed, well-connected San Francisco living with parks, transit, and essentials right at hand.
