A quiet suburban neighborhood in busy San Francisco

Ingleside, a suburban neighborhood 7 miles from downtown San Francisco, maintains a low-key atmosphere that's home to a variety of people. "It's pretty quiet and very residential," says Eddie O'Sullivan, Founder and Realtor with Elevation Real Estate. "It's more older families who've been there for a long time and younger families just starting out, along with some students. A lot of people have additional rooms in their house that they'll rent out." The neighborhood is located along Ocean Avenue, which has a variety of stores and is located between City College of San Francisco and San Francisco State University.

Shopping and dining on Ocean Avenue

Ocean Avenue is the area's main shopping location. It has restaurants, coffee shops, and essential stores like Walgreens. "Ocean Avenue has gone through a renaissance over the last few years," says O'Sullivan. "It's become quite a cool commercial district." Whole Foods is one of the anchor businesses that's changed the area into a convenient spot for shopping and dining. Philz Coffee, a low-key coffee shop with an industrial aesthetic, offers specialty drinks. Pakwan Restaurant has murals painted on interior walls and offers fast-casual Indian food. South of the neighborhood, Korean grocery store H Mart is a big draw. "The H Mart is huge. It's like a Trader Joe's kind of deal; It has a cult following," says O'Sullivan. "There are people who come from all over the city to shop there." The Stonestown Galleria,1.5 miles west, is home to national clothing retailers like Forever 21, Zara and UNIQLO.

Detached homes in Ingleside

Ingleside's houses set themselves apart from others in San Francisco – literally. "A lot of homes in this area are fully detached, which makes it unique for San Francisco," says O'Sullivan. Sidewalks line the steep streets in Ingleside, and many homes have views of the ocean. Two- to three-bedroom properties tend to sell for $650,000 to $1 million. Some detached properties sell for $1.2 to $1.6 million and have 1,200 to 1,400 square feet. Most houses tend to be Mediterranean or Spanish Revival influenced and have first-floor garages.

Ingleside is one of the centers of commute. It has numerous Muni bus lines and nearby Balboa Part station has Bart and Muni K line and J line. You can find most of the food traditions in the world from Japanese, Chinese, Thai to the Middle East and Korean.

What I like about the Ingleside is that it is a quiet area. The area is beginning to gentrify and there are no homeless. It is fairly clean and you can get all the groceries you need and you can take quiet safe walks by yourself. It is a refreshing, urban neighborhood.
