A sought-after suburb in southwest San Francisco

Ingleside Terrace is home to a colossal stone and marble sundial, but in a twist of irony, this sought-after San Francisco neighborhood is often enveloped in dense fog that drifts in from the Pacific Ocean. Residents will tell you the community’s beautiful homes and top-notch schools more than make up for the occasional bout of morning mist. “It’s a very quaint neighborhood that’s tucked away from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco,” says Realtor Dan Risman Jones, co-founder of Ascend Real Estate, who lives and works in the area. “It’s less busy, and has meandering, residential streets that are great for going on walks.”

One of San Francisco’s original “residence parks”

This wealthy enclave traces its history back to 1912, when a real estate developer purchased the former Ingleside Racetrack and replaced it with about 750 homes. The neighborhood was one of the city's nine master-planned “residence parks” designed to offer a suburban feel while still very close to downtown San Francisco. At the center of the neighborhood is the distinctive Ingleside Sundial, a unique tower that was touted as the world’s largest sundial when it was erected in 1913.

Eclectic, early 20th century homes

Homes styles in Ingleside Terrace are reflective of the time they were built. There’s an abundance of classic Mediterranean Revival homes with red-tiled rooftops, stucco walls and arched doorways, as well some Tudor-inspired houses with steep-pitched rooftops. “A lot of the neighborhoods in San Francisco have attached rowhomes. But in Ingleside Terrace it’s almost exclusively single-family detached homes on large lots,” Risman Jones says. Sizes range from spacious two-story homes with sunrooms to small, one-story bungalows. Homes typically feature attached garages, large lots with generous setbacks and lush landscaping. The neighborhood has an active homeowner’s association, so residents can stay involved. Prices for smaller homes can be as low as $1.5 million while larger homes routinely sell for between $2 million and $3.5 million.
