Bungalows! This charming single-family neighborhood with strict neighborhood design controls is next door to City College and north of Ocean Avenue. A new condo building recently joined the neighborhood, and residents appreciate the relatively short walk to Balboa Park BART.
Westwood Park Neighborhood Vibe
Let’s BBQ at my bungalow! Single-family homes with large front yards set back from the sidewalk and a backyard your child can bounce a ball farther than three feet. Bounded to the north by Monterey Blvd. and other residential neighborhoods, it’s the closest of San Francisco’s residence parks to the Balboa Park BART, and is served by the shops and transit of Ocean Avenue. The homes are no less special but typically a little smaller than those to the north and west.
Popular Westwood Park Home Styles
Until recently, this was an exclusively single-family home neighborhood. Crimson, a midrise condo building at 1490 Ocean Avenue, is the newest addition of homes to the neighborhood. Westwood Park is known for its quintessential collection of bungalow homes, and the neighborhood was one of the first to collaborate with the planning department around neighborhood design controls to preserve the historic look and feel of the area.
Getting Around in Westwood Park
It’s a west-side residence park that was built with the assumption that if you can afford the house, you can afford a car. Monterey Blvd. on the north or Ocean Ave. on the south have good access to freeways. Homes near Ocean Ave. or the City College side of the neighborhood have easy Muni light-rail access and are a short distance from the Balboa Park BART station.

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.
