In this narrated video, Austin Klar describes Jordan Park, one of eight master‑planned, suburban‑feeling communities in San Francisco. He highlights that Jordan Park was the only one originally permitted to include multifamily housing, giving it a distinct market advantage. The neighborhood sits on the northern edge of the city, just south of Presidio Heights and east of the Richmond, and is largely flat. Its most striking physical traits are exceptionally wide streets—up to 80 ft—and homes set back from the sidewalk, creating generous front yards and walking spaces. Historically, palm trees lined every front yard when the area was built in 1911; today only the palms on Palm Avenue remain. Jordan Park offers walkable access to the shops and restaurants of Presidio Heights, Pacific Heights, and the Richmond, and is a short distance from the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown, and Golden Gate Park. Historic homes are high‑end, with the average sale price in the past year just under $3.8 million. The video ends with a call to follow for more Bay Area real‑estate content.

Chapters

There are 8 master-planned communities in San Francisco designed to have a suburban park-like feel in an otherwise urban environment, and the Jordan Park neighborhood is unique among all of them because it actually allowed for multifamily housing from the outset, and it has the best access to the city's dining and shopping areas. Jordan Park is on the northern end of San Francisco, just south of the Presidio Heights neighborhood and east of the Richmond. The area is largely flat, and the distinguishing characteristics of the area are its incredibly wide streets, reaching as much as 80 feet wide, and the houses are largely set back from the sidewalk, creating larger walking spaces and front yards. When the area was originally built in 1911, there were palm trees planted in front of every single home, but today they've largely been removed and only ones on Palm Avenue survive. The neighborhood is within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants of Presidio Heights, Pacific Heights, and the Richmond, and it's a short distance to the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown San Francisco, and Golden Gate Park. The historic homes in the neighborhood are gorgeous, but they don't come cheap. The average home in the last year there sold just shy of $3.8 million.
