In this episode of The Bay Insider, Amanda Martin and Ying He take a closer look at Southern Hills and its close neighbor, Crocker Amazon, two hillside communities in the southeast corner of the city. Joined by longtime resident Liz Cong, they talk about how Southern Hills came about after World War II as a quiet, residential pocket known for detached homes, wide-open views, and some of the sunniest weather in the city.

They also head just downhill to Crocker Amazon, where you’ll find a similar sense of neighborhood, its own collection of historic homes, and easy access to large, well-loved parks. Along the way, they touch on daily life, family routines, and why hillside living continues to appeal to both longtime residents and new buyers.

With nearby access to San Bruno Mountain’s trails, open space, and landmarks like the Cow Palace, plus the convenience of being minutes from Daly City, this episode offers a thoughtful look at two often-overlooked parts of San Francisco that quietly balance nature, views, and city living.
