A Little History About Bernal Heights

Bernal Heights was part of the 1839 Rancho Rincon de las Salinas y Potrero Viejo, a 4,446-acre Mexican land grant awarded to José Cornelio Bernal.

Bernal Heights was first populated primarily by Irish immigrants who farmed the land and ran dairy ranches.

The early commercial corridor of Eugenia Avenue filled in with shops as the pastureland on the hilltop was developed for workers' homes during the rapid rebuilding of the city after the 1906 earthquake.. Some of the tiny earthquake cottages, which the city built to house quake refugees, survive to this day.

In the 1990s, Bernal's pleasant microclimate, modest homes and freeway access to the peninsula and Silicon Valley led to a wave of new residents. Bernal Heights property values have increased as urban professionals replace working-class home owners and renters.

Today's commercial corridor is along Cortland Avenue that runs from Mission Street to Bayshore Avenue.
