Episode 28:
November 6, 2025
Today on Bay Insider, we are continuing our neighborhood series where we talk about the history, lifestyle, and real estate of the Mount Davidson Manor neighborhood in San Francisco.
In this episode of The Bay Insider, we head to Mount Davidson Manor, a quiet gem in the south west area of San Francisco with deep roots and undeniable charm. Joined by resident Deepti, they explore what makes this 1920s neighborhood so special: its Spanish-Mediterranean architecture, detached homes, ocean views, and that rare sense of calm you don’t often find in the city.
They also trace the legacy of Fernando Nelson, the builder behind much of western San Francisco, and share a few local favorites along the way, from Charm Café and Ambrosia Bakery to Ocean Ale House and Aptos Park.
