Located in Golden Gates Heights, and only about the size of a city block, Grand View Park is one of the best kept secrets in the Bay Area. With views that can't be beat, the surrounding landscape, home to many native species of flora, gives nature lovers a peek at what our city looked like before it was settled. Half mile to the south, Golden Gate Heights Park is truly a crown jewel of a neighborhood park, and a perennial favorite for dog owners, tennis buffs, and families who take their picnicking seriously. There happily exist a number of secluded woodsy walks, and play areas for kids that will make parents just as content as little ones.

Insight into life in Golden Gate Heights is perfectly reflected by these two extraordinary outdoor spaces. Single family homes perched on picturesque winding streets, this neighborhood delivers all the advantages San Francisco has to offer while remaining a peaceful escape for families young and old. While the homes express a great architectural diversity, the one characteristic they all share is remarkable views.
