Diverse San Francisco neighborhood with a longstanding community

Bayview Heights, located on the southeastern side of San Francisco, is a diverse neighborhood with a strong, longstanding community. “We’ve got it going on over here, and we have everything you would want with great views, the sunniest weather in the city, great outdoor spaces and the Bayview Park and Candlepoint Park nearby,” says Marsha Maloof, president of the Bayview Hill Neighborhood Association, a subdivision of Bayview Heights whose lived in the area for over 30 years. “The area just hasn’t been commercialized to the point where everyone knows about it, but we do want to be like every other place in the city.” Along with the neighborhood’s weather being one of its best assets — with less of San Francisco’s signature fog, Bayview Heights also offers lower starting housing prices for the city and quick access to multiple transportation access points. “It’s located on Route 101 and Interstate 280 and has easy access to the peninsula as well as San Francisco,” says local Realtor Andreas Ernst of Compass. “It’s still one of the more affordable neighborhoods.”

Colorful row houses and Marina-style architecture

Bayview Heights’ wide streetscapes feature homes primarily built in the early portion of the 20th century, particularly the 1920s through the 1940s, “with a charm and curb appeal,” says Ernst. The houses in Bayview Heights are organized closely together on a grid. Sidewalks line the streets of colorful row houses, many of which are Spanish Mediterranean and Marina-styles. Plus, attached garages are a common sight. Typical housing prices range from $700,000 to $1.3 million for larger renovated properties. “Homes here sell quickly, usually in 14 to 20 days,” Ernst says.

Multiple public transportation options

Bayview Heights is close to public transportation and main highways. The area’s public transportation is courtesy of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, or “Muni” for short. Numerous Muni public bus stops and the Bayview light rail station are on 3rd Street. “It comes every five to 10 minutes, depending on the time of day,” Ernst says. “It’s usually fairly full, and people take it downtown and back.” Drivers in Bayview Heights can also take advantage of the neighborhood’s proximity to Route 101 and Interstate 280 for easy traveling around the Bay Area.
