Inner Daly City? The curves of I-280 define this skinny stretch of streets that are more connected to the shops of Daly City, with the Daly City BART stop just a few blocks from homes on the south end of the neighborhood. I-280 might have pushed you into Daly City’s arms, but we still love and tax you like our own.

Established in the early 1900s as an extension of the Mission District, this modest residential enclave, known as the Outer Mission, is bounded by Geneva Avenue, Highway 280, and Daly City. With a high concentration of renters, the area boasts a dense population. Residents benefit from superb public transportation options, including BART, numerous bus routes along Mission Street, three Muni-Metro lines, and select SamTrans services catering to commuters bound for the Peninsula.

Outer Mission Neighborhood Vibe
The Outer Mission is bounded by I-280 along the west side of the neighborhood, and construction of the freeway created a geographic barrier bisecting the Ingleside, Oceanview, and Outer Mission neighborhoods. Geneva bounds the neighborhood to the north while Mission St. lends the neighborhood its name and eastern border.
The San Francisco county line bisects neighborhood streets that are laid out in an angular fashion, resulting in streets that have homes in both San Mateo and San Francisco Counties.
Popular Outer Mission Home Styles
Like nearby Crocker Amazon, Mission Terrace, Oceanview, and Ingleside, the neighborhood is almost entirely single-family homes that were built between the great quake of 1906 and the Vietnam war.
Getting Around in the Outer Mission
In addition to being convenient to I-280, the south end of the neighborhood is very close to the Daly City BART station while the north end of the neighborhood is very close to the Balboa Park BART. While the neighborhood offers surprisingly good BART access, Muni access is limited to buses and the neighborhood is pretty car-dependent.

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.

The Outer Mission neighborhood is near the southern edge of San Francisco, with Oceanview and Ingleside to the east, Sunnyside and Mission Terrace to the north, The Excelsior and Crocker-Amazon to the west, and Daly City to the south. On an SFAR (San Francisco Association of Realtors) MLS (add internal link) map, the Outer Mission is identified as neighborhood 10D.
Originally, the Outer Mission was mostly farmland that provided the city with Swiss chard and potatoes. Most of its development followed the 1906 earthquake that devastated San Francisco and displaced many of its residents. Today, the Outer Mission predominantly features single family homes, both detached and attached, with small yards.
The Outer Mission’s main commercial stretch runs along Mission Street, full of locally and family-owned businesses, including taquerias, pizza joints, barbershops, and no-frills spots for Salvadoran pupusas.
The area’s Cayuga Park is largely the creation of Demetrio Braceros, an employee of the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department. He worked on the park for over 20 years, transforming a barren, forgotten landscape into a community oasis with lush vegetation, trails, “themed gardens” and over 375 figurines, totem poles, statues, and observation decks, all carved from wood by Braceros. The park is popular with dog walkers and families, and also features picnic areas, athletic fields, and a playground.
Far from trendy or pretentious, the Outer Mission has a close-knit, family-friendly atmosphere. The area features mainly single family homes, and over the years many owners have built in-law studios that have provided homes to San Francisco renters. Public transportation is good, the Balboa Park BART station is close by, and the nearby 280 makes the Outer Mission an attractive home for Silicon Valley commuters.
As an “already built” neighborhood, the Outer Mission 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.
