Avenue
Forest Hill is an affluent neighborhood in San Francisco, California. It is located near the
middle of the city, north-east of West Portal, south of the Inner Sunset and north of
Dewey Boulevard. Construction on the neighborhood began in 1912, on land originally
owned by Adolph Sutro that was purchased from his heirs by a private firm. Streets in
Forest Hill were not built to city standards, and not maintained by the city until 1978. [1]
The area south of Dewey Boulevard is known as Laguna Honda or Forest Hill
Extension. The name Laguna Honda means "Deep Lagoon" in the Spanish language,
presumably referring to the Laguna Honda Reservoir, at the intersection of Laguna
Honda Boulevard and Clarendon Avenue.
Laguna Honda Hospital and the Muni Metro Forest Hill Station are located between
Forest Hill and Laguna Honda, near the intersection of Laguna Honda Boulevard and
Dewey Boulevard. School of the Arts high school is on Portola Drive near Woodside
Avenue, in the south-eastern corner of Laguna Honda.
