Bernal Heights offers a unique neighborhood experience in San Francisco characterized by steep hills, charming architecture, and a rich cultural scene. Historically, it was inhabited by the Ohlone people and later the land was granted to a Mexican settler, becoming named after him. The Gold Rush in 1848 prompted a population boom in the area. After living in various parts of San Francisco for over three decades, Bernal Heights became a home for one family, highlighting its appeal as a place to live and explore unique local gems within walking distance.
Bernal Heights captured my heart in 2007 with its narrow streets, parks, playgrounds, and a historic library. It became home for my young family.
Before European settlement, the area that would become Bernal Heights was inhabited by the Ohlone people, a group of Native Americans.
With its own rich and storied history, steep hills with sweeping views, charming architecture, and vibrant cultural scene, Bernal Heights is a microcosm of the city itself.
Everything you need for a perfect long weekend of discovering under-the-radar gems is within walking distance.
