A planned urban community in West San Francisco

With a name that fits it to a T – Lakeside Village is in fact located right by Lake Merced, and its close-knit community evokes the camaraderie of a village. Originally planned through a series of individual communities beginning in the mid-1930s, Lakeside Village is now a singular, thriving neighborhood rich in flavor and festivity. And from its innovative parks and beautiful homes to its fun food spots, relaxing parks and unique events, there is always something new to explore.

Lakeside Village's shopping district is concentrated around Ocean Avenue

The commercial district in Lakeside Village is made of three streets: Ocean Avenue, Junipero Serra Boulevard and 19th Avenue. These three roads lead to some of the neighborhood's most beloved dining and shopping spots. Ambrosia Bakery has been a neighborhood staple since 1988, offering cookies and cakes by the slice. Dinosaurs is a sandwich shop that is quite popular with locals for its Vietnamese sandwiches, spring rolls and specialty drinks. Luchos is another favorite, serving fusions of Yucatan and American-California flavors.

To the west of the neighborhood is the Stonestown Galleria, a sleek collection of shops, restaurants and entertainment centers. Just to name a few, it includes Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods Market, Kura Revolving Sushi Bar and the Regal Stonestown Galleria movie theater. Mystic Garden Florist provides beautiful floral creations for every occasion. The bustling business activity is due in part to the supporting efforts of the Friends of Lakeside Village. "A few years ago, we were really worried when businesses were closing in the shopping corridor, but with all of our initiatives over the last few years, it's really started to grow," says Kath Tsakalakis, a co-founder and longtime resident.
Luchos has a great mix of breakfast and brunch options, go early because the lines can get long!

Parks, public art and Lake Merced

Lakeside Landing first greets visitors with a creature not of the lake but of the ocean. The huge red octopus ground mural that adorns this European-inspired urban park (and former underused parking lot) is a sample of the neighborhood’s whimsical personality brought to life. The park is also a great space to play with its fun oversized chess pieces and Jenga blocks. The Junipero Serra Playground has an outdoor basketball court. picnic area and an 1,800 square foot clubhouse. The park is decorated with two Islamic tile murals authorized by the San Francisco Arts Commission. Living up to its name, Lakeside Village is also just a short drive from Lake Merced Park. This large freshwater lake makes a great setting for all boating excursions, hikes, bike trips and birdwatching expeditions. Venturing a little further out, several beautiful spots dot the Gulf of Farallones shoreline, including Ocean Beach and Battery Bluff.
