Ingleside Heights is a lot more down-to-earth than some of its swankier neighbors to the north, and it’s also a lot more affordable. Homes tend to be modest, some in the same family for generations. Unexpected views add to the attraction of this more-affordable neighborhood, which also has great public transit options and easy freeway access.

Median sales price is calculated based on sold data and doesn’t account for seller concessions. Median price represents the point at which half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less. In smaller neighborhoods like many of those found in San Francisco, this metric is less likely to be influenced by extremely high or low sales prices that don’t represent the typical neighborhood home.
Days on Market indicates how quickly or slowly homes are selling in the neighborhood. The lower the days on market (DOM), the stronger the market is for sellers, all other things being equal.
The number of homes available for sale in active status at the end of a given month. Fewer homes available for sale may indicate a seasonal trend or market dynamics that favor a seller more than a buyer.
In strong or balanced markets, homes in San Francisco typically sell over asking. In a buyer’s market, homes will sell at list price or slightly under. If a home has had price reductions, the calculation is based on the last listed price.
Price per square foot is most useful when the homes are almost identical in size, age, layout and other factors important to buyers. Our experience suggests it is a more valuable metric in larger condo buildings and less valuable for homes in neighborhoods built with a diverse selection of styles, sizes, and ages.
Ingleside Heights is a neighborhood in southwestern San Francisco. It is bordered by Stonestown and Lake Shore to the west, Merced Heights to the north, Oceanview to the east, and the Outer Mission and Daly City to the south. On an SFAR (San Francisco Association of Realtors) MLS map, Ingleside Heights is identified as neighborhood 3g.
“Ingle” is the Celtic word for domestic fireplace, and Ingleside and neighbor Ingleside Heights were named after the Ingleside Inn, a roadhouse built in 1885 at the corner of Ocean Road and today’s Junipero Serra Boulevard. The spot, at a foggy, then-rural crossroads, was intended as a cozy and warm destination for what a local newspaper called “persons out for a drive or a good time.” Locals referred to the surrounding area as Ingleside, and city maps took their lead.
Like its neighbors, Ingleside Heights is one of the quieter and more purely residential parts of San Francisco, but with close proximity to lively commercial corridors. The San Francisco Golf Club is next door, and Brotherhood Way cuts through the neighborhood; a wide, green, tree-lined boulevard where many churches of varying denominations coexist with schools, community centers, a dog park, and a neighborhood garden in harmony. It’s a peaceful spot for runners, birdwatchers, and walkers.
As its name suggests, Ingleside Heights shares a lot in common with neighbor Ingleside, but at slightly higher elevations. It’s a tranquil neighborhood of mostly single-family homes built in the 1940s, many with great views of the ocean and San Francisco’s western neighborhoods. Though it lacks its own commercial corridor, Ingleside Heights is a short distance from shopping and dining on Ocean Avenue, and in West Portal and Stonestown Mall. Ingleside Heights also enjoys close proximity to 280, and both BART and Muni stations, making downtown and Silicon Valley commuting easy.
As an “already built” neighborhood, Ingleside Heights is not a neighborhood where you should expect to find substantial new construction projects. Smaller developers may renovate/flip existing properties, or may take advantage of recent housing laws to add additional units to already existing housing. Transit corridors and major neighborhood streets are the most likely areas for new construction buildings in already built neighborhoods with existing housing stock.
