Welcome to

Golden Gate Heights

Golden Gate Heights, the hilly neighborhood south of the Inner Sunset and northwest of Forest Hill, is full of steep one-way roads, secret stairway shortcuts, and views for days. It is considered to be one of the highest peaks in San Francisco and offers stunning panoramic views, including the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown, the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay. Amazing outdoor spaces surround it, including Golden Gate Park and a hop, skip and a jump to fabulous eateries on nearby Irving Street. Laid out in 1927, the neighborhood's windy streets hug the hills and break the strict grid that overlays most of the city. The area was once sand dunes with peaks that are now the sites of Grand View, Golden Gate Heights, and Hawk Hill parks. Carl Larsen, an early settler in the Sunset who came to San Francisco from Denmark in 1869, began buying large amounts of land in the dunes of the Sunset. In 1924, he donated land at the eastern edge of the Sunset to the city, the land now known as Golden Gate Heights. Some homes were built in the 1930s, but most date from the 40s and 50s.
