Area Guide

Share Guide

Rent your apartment in the Panhandle neighborhood and enjoy San Francisco's Golden Gate Park any time you want. The neighborhood is only a block wide for much of its 10-block length, so most neighborhood rentals are within steps of Golden Gate Park's panhandle and the trails leading into the heart of that famous open space.

Find your neighbors at a picnic area in the panhandle or at a number of attractions at Golden Gate Park, such as the tranquil Japanese Gardens, the zoo, or the California Academy of Sciences. Explore the park's Spreckels Lake, where model boat lovers launch their creations. Head to the western edge of the park and find Ocean Beach roughly four miles away.

You'll find Tony's Cable Car Restaurant, a local burger hangout complete with old-style neon signs, less than a mile from the panhandle. The closest shopping malls include the Westfield San Francisco Centre and the Potrero Center, both about three miles east.
