The next hottest housing market in America is this San Francisco micro-hood that's so obscure, most residents have never heard of it

Golden Gate Heights, a little-known enclave in San Francisco, has been named one of the hottest neighborhoods of 2017 by real-estate site Redfin.
Located on the outskirts of the Sunset District, the charming micro-neighborhood has no shops or restaurants. But it draws homebuyers with its affordability, suburban feel, and great views. A whopping 86% of homes in Golden Gate Heights sell above asking price, according to Redfin.
I moved to San Francisco more than two years ago and I'd never heard of Golden Gate Heights before. I recently set out for a day of exploration in the micro-neighborhood to see what the hype is. Then I lost my phone.
