Lake Street - San Francisco, CA Area Guide

A trendy neighborhood just south of the Presidio

Outdoors Great Location Family-Friendly Upscale Architecture

Also called the Lake Street District, Lake Street provides easy access to the best San Francisco has to offer. Along with bordering the Presidio of San Francisco to the north, Lake Street is about a mile to San Francisco’s largest green spaces including Golden Gate Park and Lands End Lookout. Locals flock to the Presidio for beaches, yacht clubs, golf courses, trails, and more. Although the Presidio might be in your backyard, the architecture in Lake Street is just as eye-capturing. Similar to many San Francisco neighborhoods, rent is typically on the higher end, but there are a variety of styles available including Victorian, Queen Anne, and Edwardian homes and modern apartments. Families enjoy Lake Street’s great schools but renters from all walks of life appreciate easy access to an abundance of amenities. Clement Street and Geary Boulevard nearby have trendy restaurants, bars, shops, and more.
