Hidden away in the southeastern corner of San Francisco, the quiet residential neighborhood of Portola connects to the downtown area with direct access to U.S. Route 101 and Interstate 280. Residents use these roads to travel to Downtown San Francisco and Oakland in under 25 minutes. Portola's relative obscurity has created a peaceful, close-knit community, where pastel-colored homes available for rent line the streets.
Numerous local businesses on San Bruno Avenue lie within walking distance of the neighborhood’s rentals. On sunny days, many residents wind through the trails of the sprawling John McLaren Park, which borders Portola to the southwest. The park offers outdoor concerts in its Jerry Garcia Amphitheater throughout the year, where residents and visitors alike savor live music performances by a wide variety of artists.
