West Portal

Located along the eastern edge of the Sunset District, West Portal is a low-key residential community with a small-town feel. Many colorful single-family homes with yards adorn the tree-lined streets, giving this neighborhood a retro suburban vibe. Architectural styles range from Stucco-covered Tudors to large Spanish Colonials. 

The main drag, AKA West Portal Avenue, is sprinkled with quaint mom-and-pop shops, restaurants, and modern amenities – making this community highly walkable and self-sustaining. Local favorites include Bookshop West Portal, Ambassador Toys, Mozzarella di Bufala, Easy-Breezy, Papenhausen Hardware, West Portal Recreational Center, the extensive public library, and more!

West Portal is home to many long-term residents, families, and those looking to become a part of a tight-knit community. The location is also great for those wishing to live near SFSU or UCSF.  

If you like the benefits of a big city but crave a peaceful, friendly neighborhood, West Portal is the perfect place to call home.
