Listed by Jeff Appenrodt•DRE #DRE #01336153• Laurel Realty & Investment
Outer Richmond, located between Golden Gate Park and Ocean Beach, is a residential and coastal San Francisco neighborhood with fog-softened avenues and a low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s pulse concentrates around Geary Boulevard at 25th Avenue, where bakeries, produce markets, and casual eateries line the corridor under steady Muni traffic. Rows of early-20th-century Edwardians and stucco flats sit behind clipped hedges, with wide sidewalks and corner stores shaping daily routines. The Lands End Coastal Trail and Sutro Baths frame the western edge with wind, cypress, and cliffside views. Green space anchors the grid at Mountain Lake Park and the nearby Presidio. Community pillars include Green Apple Books, the Balboa Theater, and the Legion of Honor.

Residential, House Districts, One-Family (Detached Dwellings)
These Districts are characterized by lots of greater width and area than in other parts of the City, and by single-family houses with side yards. The structures are relatively large, but rarely exceed 35 ft in height. Ground level open space and landscaping at the front and rear are usually abundant. Much of the development has been in sizable tracts with similarities of building style and narrow streets following the contours of hills. In some cases private covenants have controlled the nature of development and helped to maintain the street areas.
