Welcome to 209 Amherst Street located in the highly desirable Garden District of Portola on University Mound. This multi-generational, San Francisco neighborhood is tucked away in the southeastern corner of the city nestled between Bernal Heights and the Bayview. Established in 1922, the iconic University Mound housed over twenty family-owned commercial greenhouse operations that included some of the most magnificent multi- varietal roses, snapdragons, delphiniums and dahlias – the official flower of San Francisco. Today, the Portola is comprised of an inclusive and diverse neighborhood community offering a warm welcome to all. Another amazing feature of this neighborhood are the sights and scenery of John McLaren Park offering ~312 acres to residents, outdoor enthusiasts, families, friends to take in a picnic, sports activity, dog friendly walking trail, live music, meditation, and so much more! There are also top rated public and private schools, the Palega Recreation Center, Portola Branch Library, nearby shopping, restaurants and commerce on San Bruno Ave and Mission St. plus easy freeway access to 101 and 280.

Neighborhood Gallery

209 Amherst Street

∎

The Portola area was named for Don Gaspar de Portola - an explorer in 1769 who was charged with finding Monterey Bay. He overshot his target and stumbled upon San Francisco Bay instead. In the early 1900s it remained mostly agricultural with cattle grazing on the hills, and produce and flower gardens near what is now the 101. Today, the Portola neighborhood is approximately one square mile in size with a high percentage of owner-occupied single-family homes.

Residents can be found taking a stroll through McLaren Park or shopping along San Bruno Avenue- home to a variety of eateries, markets, bakeries, many schools, churches, a business strip and the groundbreaking Family Connections community resource center. Family Connections was established in Portola in 1993 and exists to develop healthy families, thriving communities and opportunities to share cultures, values, knowledge and resources.
