Laurel Heights: east of Jordan Park and south of that ridiculous parking lot behind Laurel Village where you can loop infinitely while seeking parking. Across the street from Presidio Heights, and so much more than the UCSF campus and a strip mall. With so much nearby, why drive when you could walk?

Getting Around in Laurel Heights
You’re never more than two blocks from Geary or California in this oh-so-central neighborhood, so getting downtown by public transport is just a short walk to a crowded bus away. Car commuters who leave the city via the bridges or the freeways to points south need to mentally prepare for cross-town traffic. But daily errands are a snap to tackle on foot, with Laurel Village at the north end of the neighborhood.

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.
Laurel Heights is a neighborhood in the northwestern section of San Francisco. It is bordered by Presidio Heights to the north, Lower Pacific Heights to the east, Lone Mountain to the south, and Inner Richmond to the west. On an SFAR (San Francisco Association of Realtors) MLS map, Laurel Heights is often combined with Jordan Park, and is identified as neighborhood 1c.
The neighborhood was once home to the Laurel Heights Cemetery, dating back to 1895, where many civic leaders, artists, and US senators were laid to rest. The interred were moved out of the city by 1948, and eventually, in 1953, the Firemen’s Fund Insurance Company bought the land and hired a modernist architect to build an International-style building, with great expanses of red brick and glass, which was later used as the Laurel Hill campus of UCSF.
Families can bring their kids to the Laurel Heights playground, and shoppers and diners will find charming destinations in Laurel Village, a commercial corridor along California Street. The Presidio National Park is a short jaunt away, offering hiking trails, a golf course, historic military buildings, and gasp-worthy views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Hushed and refined, Laurel Heights is a residential neighborhood that, despite its central location in the city, offers respite from the urban hustle.
As an “already built” neighborhood, Laurel Heights is not a neighborhood where you should expect to find substantial new construction projects. Smaller developers may renovate/flip existing single family 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.
