Located in the southwest section of San Francisco , just west of Twin Peaks, West Portal Avenue has historically served the neighborhoods of St. Francis Woods, Forest Hill, Twin Peaks, and the Inner Sunset. The Avenue is comprised of shops, restaurants, and services that extend three pristine, tree-lined, blocks from the streetcar tunnel at Ulloa Street to Sloat Boulevard. Shopping on the Avenue is just a few paces from St. Francis Circle and the intersection of Junipero Serra Boulevard, Portola Drive, and Sloat Boulevard.

No matter what you are searching for, you are bound to find it on the Avenue! The blend of independent businesses and some big box names is the perfect balance for a convenient yet hip shopping experience. The Avenue is filled with a cultural mix of delicious restaurants, independent cafes, interesting and unique gift and card stores, an independent music store, a movie theater, book stores, specialized clothing stores, sophisticated antique and interior décor shops, a pet boutique and a pet spa, as well as spas and salons for owners too- and so much more!

West Portal Avenue boasts of several services designed just for children, including learning skills centers, computers, art, clothing, and toys. Within walking distance of the Avenue are churches, schools, a public swimming pool, and playgrounds sure to keep the entire family active.

Also within walking distance is the Sigmund Stern Grove on Sloat Boulevard, which is used for free outdoor concerts in the summer. Stern Grove is renowned for its natural eucalyptus tree amphitheater and its many scenic nature trails.
