"DiHi is SF's Best-Kept Secret"
The views here are some of the best in town, as the streets were planned to curve with the views. The parks are great: Douglas park for dogs; Christopher Park and Walter Hass Park for kids and sports; and Glen Canyon for hiking. Don't let folks give false weather stories. Sure, it's foggy, but no more so than the other central parts of SF (Haight, etc). It is definitely NOT as foggy as anywhere West of Twin Peaks (Richmond/Sunset/Mount Davidson area/West Portal/Midtown Terrace, etc.) I work in the Richmond District and I can't tell yuou how many morning I leave in the sunshine yet hit a bank of fog in Golden Gate Park. True, when the fog comes in it is windy, being up 600+ feet, but that;s true of any hill Iived on in SF (the well-worth-it price for a view). The residents of DiHi are super friendly by city standards. The cool thing is you can get a condo at a much better price than two blocks away ion Noe Valley. I have 2 BR/2BA, a 2-car tandem-parking garage, tow big balconies and one BIG view. Not bad for SF. I can walk to 24th St in Noe Valley and to Glen Park or West Portal, too.
