Elegant newer homes, Victorian and Edwardian style architecture, and a breathtaking view of the San Francisco cityscape make the hilly neighborhood of Laurel Heights a particularly sought-after location for high-end homes for rent. Located less than three miles west of downtown San Francisco, this stylish community offers a taste of suburbia right in the middle of this Bay Area city. Laurel Heights is home to the University of California, San Francisco Laurel Heights campus, giving it a somewhat college-town feel.
Residents also find themselves just a short walk or bike ride from the shopping and dining options along California Street and Geary Boulevard, which offer eclectic restaurants, quirky boutiques, and more. Living in Laurel Heights will also give you easy access to some of San Francisco’s biggest hotspots and attractions. The famed “Full House” location, the Presidio of San Francisco, and Golden Gate Park are all about 15 minutes away. There are plenty of bus stops in the neighborhood to help travel around the city as well.
