Thinking of renting an apartment in Bernal Heights? It’s one of the many fantastic small neighborhoods of San Francisco. The district begins south of the Mission District and stretches further south to Portola. Due to its somewhat suburban feel, it's one of the more ideal locations for new families and is lovingly referred to by some as "Maternal Heights.”

Bernal Heights is a mostly residential district, with many apartment buildings and Victorian style single-family homes. Renting an apartment in Bernal Heights provides residents more than just a quiet getaway from San Francisco's busy downtown and Union Square. Cortland Avenue, which dissects Bernal Heights from north to south, is dotted with small boutique stores, cafes, restaurants and produce stands.

One of the great advantages to settling in Bernal Heights is the adored Bernal Hill. Bernal Hill, the namesake of the Bernal Heights neighborhood, offers an amazing view of San Francisco. Residents can take romantic evening strolls or afternoon walks with their unleashed dogs (a nice boon for dog owners). Views of the Bay and even Mount Diablo are terrific from Bernal Hill.

Those who have heard of the San Francisco micro-climates will be happy to hear that Bernal Heights has some of the best weather in the city. Bernal Heights often avoids the infamous fog that frequently stretches over much of San Francisco.
