Balboa Terrace

Neighborhood Overview

Balboa Terrace

Easy access to Highway 280 and 19th Avenue and a Muni Metro line serving downtown make Balboa Terrace an ideal neighborhood for those who seek the feel of a suburban escape while still living in the city. A peaceful air reigns over the Spanish Mediterranean homes with their beautifully landscaped lawns. Mornings find commuters making their way to the Muni, only around three blocks from any Balboa Terrace home, greeting joggers and strollers enjoying the area. The neighborhood is well-served by its proximity to the West Portal commercial area. Walk down this charming avenue and you'll feel you've gone back in time, only to find all of today's conveniences including groceries, quirky gift shops, and even a historic first-run movie theater. Dining options leave nothing to be desired. For a quiet escape, neighbors stroll the charming green belts that divide the neighborhood, admiring the stately homes. Many residents have lived here for many years and there is much pride of ownership; an opportunity to become a part of this little community is rare and very special indeed.

June Swoon or End of Subsidy Program

The National Association of REALTORS® reports that national home sales were down in June from May of 2010, but still more than 9% above June of last year.  This information correlates with our experience at Zephyr in San Francisco.  The market is very much improved from this time last year.  We still have some stimulus funds for the California State subsidy, but the federal first time buyer credit is expired.
