Beautiful tree lined streets and majestic views of the San Francisco Bay and skyline await you in this neighborhood located on the southeast side of the University.  Best known for the world-renown Claremont Resort & Spa, a former castle which opened in 1915 as a retreat for wealthy San Franciscans to escape from the fog to the sunny side of the Bay.  The Claremont/Uplands is a highly sought after address with such stately homes on beautiful tree-lined streets.  This historic area is dotted with parks, broad medians filled with redwood trees, hidden pathways and winding walking paths.  Residents are very proud of their homes and its hidden and peaceful oasis from a sometimes busy life surrounding it make it all the more enjoyable.  The Claremont/Uplands has two upscale retail shopping areas with specialty stores like Rick and Ann's, Red Wagon, Bread Garden Bakery, Star Market, Jutta's Flowers, and The Craftsman Home.   As you go closer to the Claremont Hotel your journey takes you into the hills.  Most residents are upper middle class families with some students and young professionals.
