The vibrant energy of Inner Sunset
With streetcars rumbling through its vibrant commercial district and rows of stucco homes lining the streets next to Golden Gate Park, Inner Sunset is a laid-back retreat in San Francisco's foggy westside. "If you like nature, if you like to walk and bike, you'll love it. It's one of the most scenic areas in the city," says Realtor Michael Bellings of Compass Real Estate, who's been selling homes in San Francisco for a decade. From the foggy streets of the Inner Sunset, it's just a quick drive around the nearby hillsides of Mount Sutro and Twin Peaks to the bustling districts of central San Francisco, making it an easy commute to the city's largest employment centers. With charming, colorful homes, great restaurants and nearby nature, Inner Sunset is an easygoing community close to all the action.

The alluring and colorful vibe of local business
"The Irving Street corridor is the heart and soul of the Inner Sunset. And it's got some of the best food in the city," Bellings says. Tourists and locals walk the blocks to visit vibrant coffee shops, cozy bookstores and breezy art galleries. Residents chat on the back patio at Um.ma, a downhome Korean joint with a modern streak that's received high praise from local critics. Others queue in line for a table at trendy San Tung, a beloved local Chinese restaurant with chile-spiced chicken wings that have been hailed as some of the best in the country by several national outlets. Every second Sunday of the month, vintage treasures pop up at the Inner Sunset Flea Market, a grassroots event with dozens of vendors and food stands that closes several blocks of Irving Street to vehicle traffic.

Pastel stucco and vintage architecture in Inner Sunset
Until the early 20th century, the Sunset district was home to windswept dunes and beach scrub bordering the deep blue Pacific. However, in the 1920s and 30s, developers pushed into the area, building many of the pastel-colored stucco row homes the neighborhood has become known for. These modest residences with bay windows and 1920s craftsmanship are the most common home type in the area. They usually have large, front-facing windows that flood their interiors with natural light. Some have large backyards, but front yards and patios are hard to come by; front doors typically open directly onto the sidewalk. Plenty of condos and duplexes are in the area, priced between $600,000 and $1 million. Meanwhile, detached homes range from $1.3 million to $2.5 million, depending on their size and amenities.

The expansive Golden Gate Park
To the north on Inner Sunset is the monumental Golden Gate Park, a spacious, historic park with interconnected walking paths, glittering lakes and abundant greenery. There, people peruse the rare plant collections of the San Francisco Botanical Garden, pay a visit to the De Young Museum's fine arts collection or relax at the park's Japanese Tea Garden. For a short hike, residents head up to nearby Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve to climb twisting trails through wooded slopes and ravines in the city's center.

It's one of several music festivals that come to the park.
