Beachside living

Surfers, families and people looking for a home on the beach flock to Outer Parkside. “It’s gotten to be really hip over the past 10 years,” says Cynthia Cummins, a Realtor with Kindred SF Homes, with 27 years of experience. Cummins has also sold in Outer Parkside. “A lot of people who priced out of Richmond have gone to Outer Parkside, and you’re just a few blocks from the beach.” The neighborhood offers more than a location for residents, it’s a diverse community of San Franciscans. “It’s a mix of longtime residents,” Cummins says, “People who really want the quiet and the ocean, and a lot of young families.”

Terryville

Outer Parkside has a dining district that’s a world all its own. “Some people call it Terryville because there’s a bunch of shops and places to eat,” says Cummins. Terryville refers to the restaurants and shops along Taraval Street, which runs from the beach all the way past Sunset Boulevard. Coffee shops, grocery stores and restaurants line the roadway, which also has a MUNI line running down the center. Riptide is a popular bar a few blocks from the ocean, and patrons often stroll to the water after finishing a cocktail or beer. For a grocery run, most head a few blocks from Terryville to Gus's Market.

Beachside and zoo-adjacent

Outer Parkside is known for being next to Ocean Beach. It’s popular with surfers, body surfers and everyone in between. The Lower Great Highway trail runs along the beach, and it's often filled with joggers and walkers pounding the pavement. Just south of the neighborhood, residents can visit the giraffes, monkeys and lions at the San Francisco Zoo. The sprawling facility has animals of all sorts and is popular with families.

Storybook homes

Homes in Outer Parkside go for between $1.3 and $2.5 million. “The values in the neighborhood have really pumped up,” says Cummins. Beachside homes tend to fetch a steeper price thanks to the location, but almost all the homes are a comfortable walk, usually less than a mile, from the water. “I have so many clients and friends who walk and run ocean beach or go to surf every morning,” says Cummins. The ubiquitous San Francisco storybook home is all over Outer Parkside, from the beachside homes to properties along Sunset Boulevard. They come in a spectrum of colors, from beige to grey, dark blue and pastel pink. Beachfront homes tend to have a small corner staircase up to the front door and can lean into a funky 60’s aesthetic, with boxy second-floor living spaces that project over the garage and driveway.
