Crocker-Amazon, San Francisco,
California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Crocker-Amazon is a neighborhood in San Francisco, California bordering the
Excelsior District. Crocker-Amazon covers the area south of Mission Street and Geneva
Avenue, extending towards Daly City. The neighborhood is adjacent to Crocker-Amazon
Park, named after the Charles Crocker land holdings that once made up the area, and
Amazon Street in the Excelsior.
The Crocker-Amazon neighborhood is slightly more affluent than the Excelsior, but
retains much of the same racial diversity, including a large Filipino community. Even
many San Franciscans are unaware of its existence, leading to more reasonable house
prices than in other, more well-known areas of San Francisco. There is a certain suburban
feel to this commuter neighborhood, although the houses are as tightly packed together as
those in other areas of San Francisco. The neighborhood benefits from some of the best
weather in the city; the late afternoon fog breaks over the Excelsior, meaning the
Crocker-Amazon area has more sun than most other areas of San Francisco. There are
outstanding views towards the top of the neighborhood; downtown San Francisco can be
seen in the gap between McLaren Park and Twin Peaks (San Francisco).
