I grew up in St. Francis Wood's sister neighborhood across the bridge over in Oakland, Crocker Highlands. Many of the same homes can be found in Oakland sprinkled around Lake Merrit and parts of Piedmont. I've even found an identical twin of a St Francis Wood home in East Oakland at 2719 Seminary Ave. The Twin is at 34 Yerba Buena Ave in SF. I imagine there's a $2M price difference if you compared each home.
I'm renting an in-law unit in one of the Mediterranean style homes in Monterey Heights, which is right next door to St. Francis Wood. My lunch time walks are magnificent! 😍
Yes, as you stated, those tree-lined streets and large detached houses are much like some of the nicest neighborhoods in Los Angeles. // A downside of Saint Francis Wood is that you have to drive somewhere to buy a newspaper or last-minute grocery item. No real corner mart anywhere. And it seems so uncharacteristic of the city to have a shopping mall nearby.
@@austinklar Yes, it's different from what many of us have known as a daily routine. I once lived on Liberty (near Dolores Park). Within a few blocks there were corner stores on Church Street and then the retail zone on 24th Street (Noe Valley). So it was easy to get some food item on a whim. But I can understand that having peace and quiet would be a good tradeoff.
@@rr7firefly i love being able to walk to my local grocery store. I cook almost every day and go to the store daily because I don't always know what I'm going to be in the mood for. So that is a big priority for me. I also like being walking distance to coffee shops too. So it might not be my first choice neighborhood. But it is gorgeous and you get some benefits that you can't get in neighborhoods that have stores nearby.
@@austinklar Similar lifestyle. Living in the moment allows for some personal authenticity, maybe some would say awareness. The whole idea of a huge shopping cart with a week's list of items to fill... I cannot imagine that for me.
Marin county is an expensive area! I lived in San Francisco for years back in 90’s and I’ve been to Marin county for a few times, It’s a tourist place as you can see those fancy looking houses…

Big fan of your videos and fast delivery!
I appreciate that!
I didn’t have enough money to buy a house in st Francis, but it’s really a jewel in sf.
One day!
I live right by this neighborhood. It is a beautiful neighborhood to drive through. The homes are absolutely lovely.
I love it

I didn’t know that! Will have to check out the areas 👌🏻
similar to trestle glen, parts of upper rockridge, and piedmont in oakland.
For 1/2 the price though not cheap! ❤

I bet! Love it
plus a private park!
Yes sir!
I play bridge at my friend's house in Saint Francis Wood. So fun.
Amazing!
@@austinklar I shared the video with her. And by the way, I saw the 23 bus inbound going up Monterey Boulevard during your filming.
@@m.j.golden4522 hope she enjoys the vid :)
I'm sure she will let me know and then I will let you know. She lives right across in that small park at Terrace and maybe Santa Ana.
And yes, her gardens are beautiful. Whenever I'm there, I take home fresh herbs from her backyard.

Yup-if you live there, you gotta run your errands in another area. But makes for some quiet living!

West Portal is nearby
💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵! I hope you have a lot of it!
Indeed 🤑🤑
How about Ingleside terrace and babola terrace? They are de attached
Yup! Both are similar master planned communities. As is Jordan Park, Sea Cliff, and Presidio Terrace. There are 8 in the city.
The prices are kinda stratospheric as well.
Very expensive here

This is in SF not Marin…
Lol. I know it well and it’s just your standard rich people neighborhood with big houses, small yards and dripping with entitlement.
Thanks for watching!
Yes, lovely, but St Francis Wood is foggy almost all of the time.
In other words only the top 1% of the world could afford to live in SFW
😂😂😂
Correct. Def expensive
Nothing incredibly impressive about a neighborhood with redlining origins.
Neighborhood now majority non white.
