Why Forest Hill Extension Feels Like Home

March 13, 2026

Forest Hill Extension sits just west of the original Forest Hill tract, offering similar tree-lined serenity at slightly more accessible prices. This intimate neighborhood features winding streets shaded by mature eucalyptus and cypress, creating that distinctive forested feel that makes coming home feel like a retreat.

Homes are predominantly single-family detached houses ranging from 1920s stucco styles to mid-century moderns, many with views and generous yards. The neighborhood shares Forest Hill's advantages - proximity to West Portal's restaurants and shops, easy Muni access via the Forest Hill Station, and that wonderful sense of living in an urban forest.

Trails into Mount Sutro's eucalyptus groves and Glen Canyon's wild spaces start from the neighborhood's edges, while the commercial amenities of West Portal, Inner Sunset, and Glen Park are all nearby. This is a neighborhood for those who prioritize tranquility, greenery, and that tucked-away feeling without sacrificing urban convenience.
