Public Transit Connections

The Gold Mine Hill area is served by the following public transportation:

• San Francisco's MUNI:
  
  
  • Bus Route #52 (Excelsior)— This bus drops you off at the corner of Diamond Heights Blvd. and Gold Mine Dr.; walk up the hill on Gold Mine Dr. and then turn left on Ora Way.
    
    
  • Bus Route #35 (Eureka)— This bus drops you off at the corner of Addison St. and Diamond Heights Blvd.; walk up Gold Mine Drive, turn right on Topaz Way, and then turn left on Ora Way.
    
    BREAKING NEWS: MUNI has proposed major changes to MUNI Bus Route #35. Currently, at rush hour, the #35 regular bus is packed until it at least gets to 24th street and no van will be able to substitute for that! It also isn't clear how regular this service will be. Therefore, we encourage everyone to please protest these changes now!
    
    
    • Recommended for Van Service to better match passenger loads and road geometry.
      
      
    • Service would be extended to Glen Park BART via Diamond Heights Blvd. and Diamond St. Would be rerouted between 21st and 24th St. to replace existing 48-line on Hoffman and Douglass.
      
      
    • Segment along Farnum, Moffitt, Bemis, and Addison would be eliminated.
      
      
    • Review the proposed new MUNI Bus #35 route change Map.

NOTE: When contacting the property management representative make sure that you reference the Goldmine Hill Homeowners Association (GMHHOA) and identify yourself as a resident in your message.

IMPORTANT: After-hour calls to property management company and/or the GMH office may result in a charge, even if no work is done. Often, people think they are calling the GMH business office, but in fact the GMH phone line is switched over to an answering service after the office closes. The answering service then relays your call to a representative who is hired by the property management company to be on call to fix emergency problems that are the responsibility of the Association and not individual units.

For problems inside your own unit (e.g.,  heating problem, overflowing toilet, cable/satellite reception, etc.), you must hire your own vendor to fix the problem. If you do not know whom to call, you can ask at the GMH Office for a recommendation during normal business hours Monday through Friday. After business hours, look in the yellow pages.
