A diverse and creative San Francisco district with rich history

Located in the southeastern corner of San Francisco, Bayview is a diverse urban neighborhood full of colorful houses and condos. It’s known for its rich history, growing creative scene and coveted sunny location within the city's notoriously wide range of microclimates. “We have a nice, vibrant neighborhood, the best weather in San Francisco and very friendly residents that come from all walks of life,” says Olton Rensch, a Bayview resident and local business owner of the neighborhood’s Tallio’s Coffee and Tea shop. “Bayview used to be a marginalized neighborhood, but it’s now in the growing stages and there’s quite a bit happening.” Once falling into decay during the 1960s and 1970s, the neighborhood has been steadily revitalizing. “Bayview sometimes gets overlooked, but there’s been a lot of effort to change that, and the people living and working there are so invested in the neighborhood and want to see it take off," says Eddie O’Sullivan, a longtime San Francisco Realtor and Broker of Elevation Real Estate. New local businesses settling in along the neighborhood’s prominent 3rd Street have turned Bayview into a thriving dining and shopping hub. “The big thing that’s happened in Bayview is a lot of cool vendors that were previously set up on Valencia Street have all kind of gravitated towards 3rd Street for better rent prices and space, so you have a lot of unique artisans opening up shop here,” O’Sullivan says. “It gives Bayview its own edge."

Pastel-colored homes and modern condos

Bayview’s wide residential streets feature paved sidewalks and a mix of condos and attached single-family homes with a few clusters of semi-detached properties. Some of the neighborhood’s side streets are situated on steep hill slopes, while other main street sections are relatively straight, flat and tree-lined. A lot of homes are pastel-colored, and many feature very large front windows, from arched to bay styles. The properties lack front yards; however, it’s common for homes to be adorned with small, well-landscaped shrubs and succulents. The housing makeup typically consists of Mediterranean styles with stucco roofs, Victorians, Rousseau storybook types and modern condominiums. Condos can start around $420,000 for one bedroom and can go up to $865,000 for four bedrooms. Single-family homes range from $750,000 to $1.3 million.

A thriving shopping and dining scene on 3rd Street

Running directly through the neighborhood, 3rd Street is Bayview’s main hotspot for shopping and dining. The restaurant offerings showcase a wide variety of cuisines, from Asian to Mexican and Southern comfort food. All Good Pizza is a highly rated outdoor spot, serving thin-crust pizza out of a food truck within a massive industrial-style outdoor patio full of hand-painted picnic tables and repurposed metal art. The popular Tato eatery makes street tacos from scratch with high-quality ingredients in a trendy, open kitchen-style setting. Old Skool Café is a significant neighborhood staple run by local at-risk youth to help them learn skills and gain work experience. Known for its gumbo and fried chicken, the café is decked out in speakeasy-style decor with old vintage red velvet furniture and a 1940s jazz bar set-up. Nearby, Tallio’s Coffee and Tea is a welcoming and neighborly spot that roasts its own coffee beans and offers pastries, sandwiches and a shaded outdoor parklet for residents to enjoy. Tallio’s is also known for supporting the community, often displaying and selling artisan crafts from local artists. The Super Save Supermarket is the biggest location for an in-house meat market and grocery staples, while next door, Torino is a small all-in-one market with essential household shopping selections plus standard grocery items and a deli that serves sandwiches and pizzas.

Art-filled parks and waterfront trails

Outdoor recreation opportunities surround Bayview. Hilltop Park is the biggest neighborhood park, with a vast open green space, skatepark and a towering sundial that also serves as an amphitheater. The colorful park features public art displays created by local school kids, outdoor workout equipment, a modern playground and numerous benches and picnic tables where residents can sit and take in some of the best views of the bay and San Francisco Hillsides. To the east of the neighborhood is India Basin Shoreline Park, another spot for admiring the views and a small waterfront playground, basketball courts and a walking and biking path. Bordering the neighborhood is the vast Southwest Community Center, known for hosting neighborhood events. It features many beautiful, dog-friendly outdoor green spaces and garden areas where residents like to hang out and mingle with neighbors in the community.
