Glen Park Neighborhood

"Little Switzerland"

The intersection of Diamond and Bosworth streets is considered the center of the Glen Park Neighborhood.

Glen Park located at the southern edge of the hills in the interior of San Francisco, to the south of Diamond Heights and Noe valley, west of Bernal Heights and east of Glen Park.

Glen Park also know as Little Switzerland is often described as having a village like atmosphere because of its small size and mom and pop stores, restaurants and saloons. Its narrow streets are flanked by colorful single-family homes, and great views of the city from its hills. Property values in the area range between the low $700 thousands to over $2,9 million depending on amenities and views.

A new San Francisco Public Library was recently completed on Bosworth Street a few steps from Diamond Street. Public transportation is good in the area because there are 5 Muni bus lines plus the J Church Muni Metro Line, Glen Park Bart Station and interstate highways 280 and 101.

Glen Canyon Park a small haven for hikers and dog walkers occupies about 70 acres along a deep canyon adjacent to the Glen Park, Diamond Heights and Miraloma Park neighborhoods. Grass chomping goats are used in June every year to ‘mow' Glen Canyon Park.

In 2003 the SF Planning Commission drafted the Glen Park Community Plan to resolve existing traffic, transit, parking problems, improve connections and pedestrian safety, enhance local business vitality, build transit served housing and explore ways of retaining the beloved character of Glen Park into the future. One of the ideas discussed was new housing on Wilder Street west of the Bart transformer and removal of housing on this private parcel.
