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