DISTRICT 1

• The inner, outer, and central Richmond neighborhoods are bisected by the east-west Geary business corridor, where evidence of the area's diverse population abounds. Russian bakeries, Middle Eastern delis, Irish bars and French restaurants are filled with a conglomeration of families, young urban professionals and students from the nearby University of San Francisco on Lone Mountain. As the district's Asian population has grown in recent years, Clement Street's proliferation of dim sum houses and Chinese restaurants have earned it the nickname "Chinatown West".
• The Jordan Park neighborhood of mostly single family homes offers coveted views, excellent transportation and easy access to shopping and dining. Many Jordan Park residents belong to neighborhood associations and get together often for block parties.
• Laurel Heights is soccer mom heaven, an upscale mix of apartment buildings and large in a sunny setting. Laurel Heights Village on California Street is a favorite shopping area for all ages with its coffee shops, supermarket, bakery, kitchenware and clothing stores. Second-hand shops, antique stores, and tony boutiques can be found on nearby Sacramento Street.
• The Lake Street neighborhood boasts easy access to the Presidio Golf Course, as well as the tennis courts, basketball hoops, duck pond, and children's playgrounds of Mountain Lake Park. Many of the area's Edwardian-style single family homes, flats and apartments have been renovated and parking is comparatively easy. Shopping and dining are just minutes away at California or Clement streets.
• Sea Cliff -- where, as Herb Caen said, "the homes have room to puff out their chests in the satisfaction of success" is one of the most picturesque and desirable residential areas in the country. Spanish architecture dominates these magnificent homes, perched on the cliffs just east of the Golden Gate Bridge. The neighborhood is bordered on the west by Lincoln Park with its 18-hole public golf course and, at its highest point, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor museum, home of Rodin's "The Thinker".
