Neighborhood:

Located so very close to all the best of Bernal & the Mission, 20 Bessie Street is a destination to come home to. But when you go out...

Just a block and a half away is the Harvest Hills Market and Charlie’s Deli Cafe and Precita Park which offers plenty of open space for a picnic, exercise, playing with your dog and a friendly playground. On one corner, there’s the Precita Park Café, on another, the Hillside Supper Club. From here, it's a short walk to lower 24th Street and the myriad of offerings there.

Walk up the stairs and down to Mission Street via Mirabel and Coso. The neighborhood is dynamic! You can enjoy many eateries, bars, shops and restaurants such as Baby Blues BBQ, Emmy’s Spagetti Shack, Blue Plate and Pizzahacker. If inspired for a night out, kick up your heels at Roccapulco Salsa Club and El Rio or hang out at Vigil’s Sea Room, Rock Bar, Royal Cuckoo and Iron and Gold. Watch Giants baseball or attend a poetry reading at the 3300 Club. Don’t forget to enjoy a dinner out at Ichi Sushi + NI Bar, The Front Porch or Mi Lindo Peru either!

Meanwhile, there are plans for an improved and greener gateway at Valencia and Mission Streets. It wil be exciting to see all the meetings pay off for the neighbors when the Mission Valencia Green Gateway is realized!

Here, you're a part of the wonderful Bernal Heights neighborhood! Ready for more? Head up the hill and start your morning on Cortland Avenue some days. Try Sandbox Bakery for a coffee and snack, or stop by Martha & Bros to see some neighbors, or enjoy the cozy back room or outdoor garden at Progressive Grounds Coffee Shop.

Stroll with or without your dog to Bernal Heights Park to meet up with the local pet owners, say hi to the neighbors. And don’t forget to enjoy those hilltop wrap around views of the city.

Bernal Heights is diverse, vibrant and ever evolving. The Bernal Heights Neighbor Center works for the neighborhood, offering programs for the young and old along with throwing a great annual party, Fiesta on the Hill! On the weekend, you can hit Saturday's Alemany Farmer’s Market and Sunday’s Flea Market. Get to know your neighbors at Bernal Heights Outdoor Cinema Movie Festival, Hillwide Garage Sale and other events.

Enjoy some local parks, gather your picnic from the Good Life Grocery or Safeway and visit some parks starting at Holly Park, next to Good Prospect Community Garden and Esmeralda Slides, finishing the afternoon with a glass of wine at Precita Park Café and perhaps some Mitchel's Ice Cream or Mission Pie?

Beautifully landscaped public stairways make the neighborhood a great place for a morning, afternoon and evening meander. Stop by Bernal Beast to spoil your fluffy friend, or consider a workout at BernalFit while your dog gets fun time or a walk as well!

Neighborhood Description:

Despite being visible from many of the city's vista points, Bernal Heights is something of a hidden treasure. Many residents have lived in the area for many years, and it has remained a stronghold of working class and bohemian lifestyles as the rest of the city has changed all around it.

With the ruggedly expansive Bernal Hill Park at its center, it's no surprise that dogs and kids seem at times to outnumber adults in the neighborhood. Holly Park, on the south side of the hill, and Precita Park to the north, provide even more opportunities for outdoor mingling. Cortland Avenue is the main commercial drag; community activism, ethnic dining and nightlife mix on this eclectic street.

Beautifully landscaped public stairways criss-crossing the hill make the neighborhood a great place for an afternoon meander. A popular destination is the stretch of Mission Street that runs along the western foot of the hill; the addition of several trendy restaurants and hip bars are rapidly changing the face of the neighborhood.

Community spirit is strong in Bernal Heights, which has its own neighborhood center and newspaper, the Bernal Journal. Each year brings the much anticipated Bernal Heights Outdoor Cinema, featuring movies made by local filmmakers.
