The sunny Upper Portola East neighborhood's four-bedroom, carpeted townhouses were added across the street from the Upper Portola West townhomes almost 20 years after the Upper Portola West townhomes were built. While short on decorative touches, they offer ample space in the form of an additional bedroom and bathroom. What unites the entire neighborhood is its close proximity to outdoor activities including Julius Kahn Playground, picnicking and birdwatching at El Polín Spring, and an organic community garden. The retail district of Pacific Heights is a short walk to the south, and Presidio Golf Course is a short but admittedly steep walk up the hill to the west.
