120 Locksley Avenue

Forest Knolls sits on the eastern slopes of Mount Sutro, where winding, wooded streets and steep terrain set it apart from San Francisco’s flatter neighborhoods. The city’s mild, often foggy climate gives the surrounding greenery a cool, shaded feel, while nearby Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve offers forested trails and outdoor routes. Homes are tucked into the hillside, with views opening toward the city in some spots. Dining and coffee options are more plentiful beyond the residential streets, including along nearby neighborhood corridors; shopping and nightlife also call for a short trip. The area’s hills make walking scenic but demanding, and public transit and roads connect it with the rest of the city. For ZIP code 94131, which covers Forest Knolls, the median rent is $4,995 per month and the typical range is $1,400 to $31,000.
