Around Diamond Heights
Apartment buildings along Diamond Heights Boulevard, the eastern boundary of the neighborhood, are closest to the neighborhood's only shops and restaurants. The western half of Diamond Heights is devoted to the large and beautiful Glen Canyon Park. Cars head toward the Castro and downtown via Portola Drive, which runs along the northern side of the neighborhood. You can't tell from walking Diamond Height's roads, but the backyards of the hillside homes have great views of downtown.
Dining options in Diamond Heights are extremely limited. The only eateries are in the shopping center on Diamond Heights; there are choices for coffee and pastries, and you can also get Chinese food. Fortunately, one casual diner has a diverse menu that includes burgers, Japanese food, and all-day breakfast food. The supermarket serves sandwiches and hot chicken. On Portola Drive, just west of the neighborhood's northwestern borders, another shopping center features tacos, burgers, pizza, and sandwiches.
There are teenagers waiting to be picked up from the neighborhood's arts-focused high school. Dog owners enjoy walking their canine companions through Glen Canyon Park, or bringing them to the veterinarian. You'll see kids piling out of cars back seats and into single-family homes, while their parents bring in groceries. You'll also see young officers training at the San Francisco Police Academy.
There are no bars, nightclubs, or entertainment options in the neighborhood, but you can take the 52-Excelsior to the Castro if you want to drink, dance, or take advantage of late-night diners. Though Diamond Heights is usually foggy, the occasional clear night provides an excellent opportunity for stargazing.
Have a cup of coffee and a scone on Diamond Heights Boulevard, or eat a big breakfast with the family before bringing the kids to an expansive playground. Admire the native San Francisco vegetation while hiking in Glen Canyon Park, or use its recreational facilities to play tennis or soccer.
