Living in Westwood Park

Westwood Park is one of San Francisco’s most distinctive residence parks — and the only one defined by Craftsman bungalows. Laid out in 1917 by the developers Baldwin & Howell, it’s a tidy oval of gently curving, tree-lined streets (Miramar, Faxon, Monterey, Plymouth) lined with well-kept early-20th-century homes, entered through its signature stone gateposts. It sits on the southwest side, bordered by Monterey Heights, Sunnyside, Westwood Highlands, and the Ingleside, just above City College.

It’s prized as one of the more attainable residence parks — a quiet, friendly, family-oriented neighborhood with a strong sense of community. Everyday shopping and dining are close by on Ocean Avenue (see our Ingleside guide) and in nearby West Portal, with City College, the K-Ingleside Muni, and I-280 all minutes away.

Westwood Park Market Snapshot

Median sale price around $1.5M as of mid-2026 (Zillow / Redfin) — one of the more attainable of the west-side residence parks. Medians are a guide, not a valuation for any specific home — ask us for a personalized estimate.

Westwood Park’s well-preserved bungalows and curving streets draw steady, competitive interest, and it offers residence-park character at a relatively accessible price. Values vary by size and condition, so a tailored read matters. The Primavera team knows the southwest residence parks well.

Eat & Shop on Ocean & Monterey

Westwood Park was built as a residence park, so there are no shops inside the ovals — and that is rather the point. What it has instead is two everyday commercial streets, one at each end: Ocean Avenue along the south edge, and Monterey Boulevard along the north. Both are a few blocks’ walk from most front doors. For the full run of Ocean Avenue, see our Ingleside guide; for Monterey, our Sunnyside guide.
