There are two excellent shopping districts in Presidio Heights. The better known is Sacramento Street with its fine antique stores and outstanding restaurants like Spruce and Osteria. For daily shopping, locals head to Laurel Village - a quaint mid-century shopping center with parking in the back and a row of shops in the front. This is a place where you can get real things done with two grocers, a book store, a bank, a Starbucks and an old-fashioned five-and-dime.
The Presidio of San Francisco Edging the neighborhood’s northern edge is The Presidio of San Francisco. Once one of the country’s oldest continuously operating military posts, today it is the world’s largest national park within an urban setting. Spanning nearly 1500 acres, The Presido offers a stunning array of recreational opportunities- from cycling and running to golf and kite boarding.
