Living in Ingleside

Ingleside sits in southwest San Francisco, taking its name from the Ingleside Inn, a popular roadhouse of the late 1800s. Today it’s one of the city’s most diverse and welcoming neighborhoods — a place of well-kept single-family homes, strong community ties, and prices that remain more attainable than much of San Francisco, making it a favorite with families and first-time buyers.

Its main street and northern edge is Ocean Avenue, a genuine, unpretentious commercial corridor where a 1962 burger drive-in shares the block with bakeries, an all-ages brewery with live music, and one of the city’s only Laotian restaurants. City College of San Francisco’s Ocean campus anchors the neighborhood, and the K-Ingleside Muni Metro plus nearby Balboa Park BART make getting downtown easy.
