Unexpected appeal
Inner Sunset is bordered by lush Golden Gate Park, with two museums and more green space than you’ll need.

The market:
Reasonably priced, compared to many neighborhoods closer to downtown, but with more square-footage.

With a median home value of $1.6 million, prices in Inner Sunset are high, but far from the highest in the city, and with that comes space to settle down and stretch out — maybe even in your own yard — which makes homes here feel like the best value in town.
