Merced Heights Home for Rent

Merced Heights in San Francisco offers residents stunning views from its perch on Mount Davidson, the city's highest point. This primarily residential neighborhood, developed post-World War II, features mid-20th-century homes with stucco walls, tall windows, and often colorful facades. Many houses include garages, providing parking and potential for additional living space through renovations. The area is quieter and safer than the national average, adding to its appeal. Merced Heights is conveniently located near 19th Avenue, leading to the expansive Stonestown Galleria mall less than 2 miles away, which features over 100 stores, eateries, a movie theater, Target, and Trader Joe’s. Ocean Avenue also offers a variety of restaurants and businesses. The Stonestown Farmers Market, held on Sundays, is a popular local event with diverse vendors. For outdoor activities, residents can visit the renovated Merced Heights Playground with its artificial turf, dog park, and tennis courts, or the larger Brooks Park, which includes a community garden and picnic spots. Families benefit from the high-rated schools in the area, such as Jose Ortega Elementary, Aptos Middle, and Lowell High, all part of the San Francisco Unified School District. Public transportation is accessible via the Muni bus system along Garfield Street, and drivers can easily reach Interstate 180 for an 8-mile trip to Downtown San Francisco.
