Lake Street

Neighborhood Overview

Lake Street

San Francisco's Lake Street district is in many an ideal place for those who love the outdoors and are seeking a green respite with easy access to the rest of the City. And it is one of those rare areas in our urban environment where quiet family life is the norm. Stretching all the way from Arguello Boulevard to 27th Avenue, you'll find single family homes and condos in a variety of architectural styles; this being San Francisco of course, there are quite a few Edwardian and Victorian properties to choose from. The sprawling and diverse Presidio of San Francisco is your backyard, offering endless recreation opportunities. Several parks dot the neighborhood as well. Rochambeau and Richmond Playgrounds are popular for small children and basketball players. Mountain Lake Park offers a popular dog run, tennis courts, a running trail and of course the lake, which is a charming spot to stroll on sunny days. And, of course, bike lanes running along Lake Street lead avid cyclers north across the Bridge into the hills of Marin County. Though not part of the neighborhood, the Clement Street business district is a very short walk away. A remarkable selection of cuisines and shopping can be found here, as well as a number of low key bars for the night owl in your household. Several Muni lines serve the neighborhood to whisk commuters downtown and back with ease.

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.

Buyers Will Pay For "Done," Even in So-So Locations

Despite most San Francisco buyers' firm proclamation at the outset of their house hunt that they won't pay for someone else's renovation, many are doing just that. One trend that doesn't appear to be slowing is that of buyers snatching up fully renovated single-family homes---and paying dearly for them, even if the homes are not in prime locations within a given neighborhood. (Because not everyone can afford a newly renovated home in the heart of Noe Valley, right?)
