Zoo station

Parkside

REAL ESTATE • First Mover

The Parkside is often lumped in with the Sunset District, but it’s its own beast — the neighborhood nearest the SF Zoo is dominated by single-family residences and quirky surf shacks, as opposed to the mixed-use hubbub of its neighbor to the north.

Most homes were built in the ‘50s and ‘60s, which means the last decade or so has seen an uptick in sales as original owners downsize or depart. Per Compass, 87 homes changed hands in this beachside neighborhood over the past year at a median price of $1.5M — but prices can wildly vary, with the biggest sale this year clocking in at $7.1M.
