Today on Bay Insider, we are continuing our neighborhood guide series where we talk about the history, lifestyle, and real estate of the West Portal neighborhood in San Francisco.
In this episode, we talk about our homebase West Portal. The development of the twin peak tunnel has led to the beginning of this wonderful residential area with a blend of hip new restaurants and old San Francisco favorites. It is one of the best transportation hubs in the city. It also has a very strong community who come together in good times and bad times.
A recent article on 7x7 discusses how West Portal has recently become the coolest neighborhood. You can find the article here.
