Merced Heights

Neighborhood Overview

Merced Heights

Merced Heights is located in the southwestern part of the City and is well known for its hilly aspect. Touring through this neighborhood, you're sure to spot plenty of SFSU students notable for their backpacks and book packs. Great views abound thanks to the hilly terrain. It is an emerging area and considered to be a wise investment for the longer-termed buyers. Perched between Ingleside (east) and Stonestown (west), Merced Heights is a relatively small enclave, and the neighboring districts fill in the gap for shops and restaurants. Two public parks, Merced Heights Playground and Brooks Park, located on Shields Avenue, call Merced Heights their home. Another worthwhile spot is the Shields Orizaba Rocky Outcrop, an ideal spot to watch the sunset and commune with nature right in the middle of San Francisco, but only if you're willing to make a bit of an uphill trek. While Merced Heights is primarily residential, its close proximity to amenities and easy access keep it among the more desirable locations.

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.
