Bayshore
The Bayshore area includes the south easternmost district of the City.
It includes the warehouses and residences you see along Highway 101,
north of the San Francisco airport. Candlestick Park, Portola, Visitation
Valley, Hunter's Point and Bret Harte neighborhoods are here.
Bayview
The Bayshore area of San Francisco, was originally granted to Jose
Bernal in 1834. In the 1850's The Hunter Brothers bought the hill
now called Hunters Point for a town site that was never developed.
Home to the historic San Francisco Opera House and the Waden branch
of the public library, the Bayview includes hills and winding streets,
Victorian homes, the estate-like structures of the former St. Joseph
Home for Girls and the Bret Harte tract.
Hunter's
Point
The Hunter Brothers bought the hill now called Hunters Point for a
town site that was never developed. Formerly home to a naval shipyard,
Hunter's Point peninsula now includes modern apartments and townhouses,
Drake School, a wonderful playground, boat repair yards and an old
stone brewery. At the top of the hill are great views of San Francisco
Bay.
Outer
Mission
A culturally diverse area, less crowded than the Inner Mission. Mostly
single family homes can be found here traditionally home to the working
class. This district gave root to a large share of the city's leaders.
