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.

The SF Inventory is Finally Arriving

Buyers and Realtors have been complaining about the lack of residential inventory in San Francisco since earlier this year. Indeed, it seems like buyers are fully engaged in our single-family home, condo and multi-unit offerings and have hit the market looking for property all at the same time. That means that for every cool house in a central location, there are 10-15 sets of buyers waiting to pounce.

(Because not everyone can afford a newly renovated home in the heart of Noe Valley, right?)
