St. Francis Wood, San Francisco, California

St. Francis Wood is an affluent residential neighborhood located in southwestern San Francisco, California, south of the West Portal neighborhood and west of Mount Davidson. Characterized by impressive single family homes on spacious lots (by San Francisco standards), St. Francis Wood has no businesses and a correspondingly low profile compared to wealthy neighborhoods like the Marina District and Pacific Heights.

There are two large water fountains in St. Francis Wood along St. Francis Boulevard, a circular one in the intersection with Santa Ana Avenue and one built onto the hill at the eastern end of the street.
