 Stairway into Forest Hill from Pacheco Street and Dewey Boulevard up to Castenada Avenue Forest Hill is an affluent neighborhood in San Francisco, California. It is located near the middle of the city, north-east of West Portal, south of the Inner Sunset and north of Dewey Boulevard. Construction on the neighborhood began in 1912, on land originally owned by Adolph Sutro that was purchased from his heirs by a private firm. Streets in Forest Hill were not built to city standards, and not maintained by the city until 1978. It costs a certain fee each year to be able to live in this area because of the maintenance by the city. Forest Hill itself is very lush, and the homes are some of the City's priciest.[1] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 800 × 411 pixelsFull resolution (1024 × 526 pixel, file size: 124 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) Stairway into Forest Hill at Pacheco and Dewey, up to Castenada Photo taken by myself on 5/13/05 File history Legend: (cur) = this is the...

The area south of Dewey Boulevard is known as Laguna Honda or Forest Hill Extension. The extension is another section of Forest Hill, except with smaller homes and it's not often regarded as being as nice.The name Laguna Honda means "Deep Lagoon" in the Spanish language, presumably referring to the Laguna Honda Reservoir, at the intersection of Laguna Honda Boulevard and Clarendon Avenue.
Laguna Honda Hospital and the Muni Metro Forest Hill Station are located between Forest Hill and Laguna Honda, near the intersection of Laguna Honda Boulevard and Dewey Boulevard. School of the Arts high school is on Portola Drive near Woodside Avenue, in the south-eastern corner of Laguna Honda. As the name implies, landscaping throughout Forest Hill is unusually lush for San Francisco: Magellan Avenue's elms make it one of the few streets in the city with a true tree canopy. Several homes and a community clubhouse designed by celebrated California Arts and Crafts Movement architect Bernard Maybeck add to the picturesque, rustic quality of the neighborhood.[1] Muni Metro is a mass transit system operated in the City and County of San Francisco by the San Francisco Municipal Railway, managed by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. ...
