What neighborhood is 2406 14th Ave located in?

West Portal, San Francisco

West Portal is another San Francisco neighborhood with a small town feel, especially since it is surrounded by residential neighborhoods. It has also been called the “new” Noe Valley as less affluent families have been pushed out of that popular small town neighborhood.

West Portal is bordered on the north by Forest Hill, on the east by Sherwood Forest, on the south by Monterey Heights and Lakeside, and on the west by Inner Parkside.

Like Noe Valley, residents here tend to be somewhat affluent and less diverse, with many owning their own homes. Most housing here consists of brightly colored rows of single family homes. Some even have front and back lawns, giving it a slight retro suburban feel.

It has a big appeal for families thanks to its good schools, public playground, and a relatively large public library branch. It is also popular among students due to its position between SFSU and UCSF, as well as with retired folks.
