Santa Ana Ave, Balboa Terrace

Santa Ana Avenue is one of St. Francis’s premier streets as it is home to the famous St. Francis Circle Fountain. The St. Francis Woods district is known for its big houses and tranquil community. The houses on Santa Ana are some of the nicest in San Francisco. Although a very short street, Santa Ana Avenue makes its presence known as many will be able to distinguish the street from other streets in St. Francis Woods as the houses here are just that much bigger and nicer.

Large housing isn’t the only thing Santa Ana Avenue has to offer as it is very close to parks and shopping areas. St. Francis Woods Park is a short walk away, and West Portal is also walking distance away. West Portal boasts one of San Francisco’s most pleasant districts with shops, restaurants, and quick links downtown.

The streets on Santa Ana Avenue are pretty much never busy and crime is very low in the district.
