Diamond Heights Information
Diamond Heights is a neighborhood in San Francisco, California. It is located
in the middle part of the city, roughly bordered by Diamond Heights Boulevard
and Noe Valley on the east side and Glen Canyon Park on the west side. It was
the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association's first project,
intended to use redevelopment powers to use land on the hills in the center of
the city to be developed with, rather than against, the topography. Few existing
residents needed to be relocated for the redevelopment program, which included
housing for a range of incomes, churches, schools, parks, and a commercial
center.
Notable features of Diamond Heights include a shopping center on Diamond Heights
Boulevard between Duncan Street and Gold Mine Way, and the San Francisco Police
Department's police academy on Turquoise Way. George Christopher Playground is
located behind the shopping center, and Walter Haas Playground is at the
intersection of Diamond Heights Boulevard and Addison Street. School of the Arts
high school and the California Youth Authority's Youth Guidance Center are both
just northwest of Diamond Heights, at the intersection of Portola and Woodside.
Public transportation in Diamond Heights is provided by Muni's 35 Eureka and 52
Excelsior lines. Both connect to the Muni Metro system; the 35 goes to Castro
Street Station and the 52 goes to Forest Hill Station. Additionally, the 52
connects to the Bay Area Rapid Transit system at the Glen Park Station.
