About

Inner Sunset

The Inner Sunset is anchored by 9th Avenue and Irving Street — a compact, low-key commercial corridor full of independent restaurants, coffee shops, and local businesses that have been there for decades. It's a neighborhood that rewards those who are drawn to authenticity over trendiness. The UCSF Parnassus campus brings a steady presence of students, researchers, and medical professionals, giving the neighborhood an intellectual, slightly bohemian character. Golden Gate Park forms the northern border, and Sutro Tower looms above. The N-Judah Muni line connects to downtown in under 20 minutes. Housing is primarily flats and Edwardian homes, priced below the city median for the quality offered.
