Southshore blends a beachy, golf and college lifestyle
The coast of the Southshore is an appealing part of the Bay Area. From surfing favorite Ocean Beach down along Funston Beach, where residents and their dogs can be seen on daily strolls, to the cedar-covered coves and primrose-covered hills of Phillip Burton Memorial Beach, residents of Southshore have their choice of sand and surf on the Pacific Ocean coast. When cold, locals can go to the San Francisco Zoo, one of three golf courses or the public art galleries at San Francisco State, among other options. Nearby, commuters can take advantage of the Muni routes that serve this part of San Francisco.
Condos, bungalows and split-levels fill the residential streets
Home prices in Southshore range from $750,000 to $2 million. Condominiums, prewar Monterey-style bungalows, a few Tudor revivals and midcentury split-levels comprise the bulk of the neighborhood housing stock. For $800,000, buyers can find a sizeable two-bedroom condo in the gated Lake Merced Hills Community, bordering Lake Merced Park. HOA fees in such a community run around $1,000 per month.

Local beaches and golf courses define the recreation scene
Surfing is a popular pastime in Southshore, but the water is cold. The chill doesn’t stop many, though. Golfers might be driven to buy a home in this community, as the three local courses are all within walking distance and offer different experiences. The San Francisco Golf Club and The Olympic Club are both private facilities. Situated next to Lake Merced Park, TPC Harding Park has a nine-hole course and an 18-hole course that is a stop on the PGA Tour. Lake Merced Park covers 750 acres of land and water, offering hiking among old-growth pines, a paved trail for biking and various fishing spots. Fort Funston is a National Park overlooking the beach where locals ride horses and hike. It’s also one of the most popular places in the country to go hang-gliding.
