Neighborhood
The area we now call Bernal Heights was once the site of humble dairies and grazing pastures. It has come a long way, from these pastoral beginnings to “America’s #1 hottest neighborhood” (per Redfin). What’s all the fuss about?
In part, Bernal owes its appeal to its sunny microclimate, which is one of the city’s warmest. The eastern slope of Bernal, where 532 Franconia is located, is especially sunny. When other parts of the city are shrouded in fog, you can expect blue skies in Bernal -- you’ll never want to leave.
The hub of Bernal’s community is Cortland Ave, an eclectic and always fun strip of cool cafes, fine restaurants, an art gallery, an organic grocery store, a bookshop, and countless other attractions. No national franchise chains here! It’s down-home cozy and authentic, a true urban village, with plenty to keep you busy all year round without ever having to leave the nabe.
Craving a craft beer? The new Bare Bottle Brewery, with its gourmet food-truck fare and indoor communal dining tables, is a great spot for a larger gathering. Want to spice it up? Try Little Nepal. ;Gourmet coffee? World class organic bakery? Cocktail bar? Queer bar? Live music? Epicurian deli? Intimate gem of a bistro? One-of-a-kind boutiques? Basketball and tennis courts? Bernal has it all. As you stroll up and down Cortland, you’ll enjoy the feeling that you’re in a progressive melting pot where folks of every ethnicity, orientation, and national origin are made to feel welcome. It’s a very special place.
A description of Bernal would not be complete without mentioning its amazing parks. Bernal Hill at the crest of the neighborhood very close to 532 Franconia offers some of the finest views in the entire Bay Area. Your canine companions will beg you for playdates with their friends on the hill and you can easily spend an afternoon hiking around the circumference and taking in the fresh air and 360-degree vistas. And it's a great place to watch the fireworks on July 4th!
Holly Park and Precita Park are also unique, beautifully-landscaped neighborhood parks where you’ll find lots of neighborhood kids and adult picnic spots. There are also several well-equipped playgrounds, rec centers with indoor and outdoor courts, as well as a beautiful public library.
Alemany Farmers Market, at the southern foot of the Hill, is the city’s largest outdoor market and is open on Saturdays, while a vibrant flea market takes its place on Sundays. Walking west to Mission Street, get your groove on at the outdoor dance floor and enjoy live music on Sundays at El Rio. Hungry? Sample an amazing smorgasbord of cuisine from around the globe -- Indian pizza, traditional Mexican homestyle cooking, Cambodian, BBQ ribs and brisket, and so much more await you.
There is a MUNI connection that runs along Cortland just a few blocks down from 532 Franconia. Whether you are driving to downtown or to the airport / Peninsula, access to 101 and 280 is located nearby, making it an easy commute.
Welcome to Bernal Heights, a very welcoming community, and one you’ll be pleased to call home!
