Small San Francisco hub with post-war housing and a prominent hospital

Anza Vista, located in the heart of San Francisco, is a small but convenient neighborhood anchored by post-war residential housing, the Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Medical Center and the University of San Francisco, which borders the community. “Anza Vista is a kind of quiet neighborhood that tends to have multi-unit buildings and single-family homes,” says Eddie O’Sullivan, a longtime San Francisco resident, Realtor and broker of Elevation Real Estate. “There’s a big hospital facility here, and it’s also next to a university. So you’ll get a mix of students that are renting in the neighborhood, but it's just really all residential.” With its less foggy disposition than neighboring Richmond and its hilltop setting, many properties in Anza Vista benefit from clear backdrops of the San Francisco skyline and the bay. "There are big views here – you're right on top of the city," says Kira Mead, Realtor at Real SF Properties and frequent local seller.

Midcentury properties and Edwardian-style buildings

Housing in Anza Vista runs along the upper hills of the city and was primarily developed after World War II. Midcentury duplexes and multi-family houses are the most common housing styles. Other styles include a few older Edwardians and Victorians, mainly located on the neighborhood’s eastern side. These homes, some of which are single-family and others that have been converted into condo units, often feature large bay windows. Condos prices typically range from $1.1 million to $2.2 million. "The condo market is much slower than single-family homes," Mead says. Single-family residences usually range from $2.3 million to $3.2 million, with the higher end typically being detached homes on more spacious lots.

Community service at Raoul Wallenberg High

Students may attend the A-minus-rated New Traditions Elementary School, followed by the A-rated Roosevelt Middle School.

The school’s curriculum emphasizes civic duty and humanitarianism, and students are expected to complete 100 hours of community service before graduating. The school also offers numerous AP courses and after-school programs, including 1-on-1 tutoring.

The San Fransisco International Airport is a 15-mile ride south for long-distance travel.
