Irving Street shops, the N-Judah line and nearby Golden Gate Park.
LOCAL FIELD GUIDE
Getting to know Inner Sunset
Irving Street, UCSF Parnassus and Golden Gate Park provide strong neighborhood anchors.
THE LOCAL ROUTINE
Start with the streets
Walk Irving Street and the park entrance at 9th Avenue.
Visit at more than one time of day. An attractive listing can feel quite different once you account for the actual walk to groceries, transit, parks and the nearest busy intersection.
HOUSING & DUE DILIGENCE
Look beyond the listing
Older row houses and flats call for moisture, foundation and parking review.
Request inspections, disclosures and permit history for the specific property. For condominiums, review association financials, insurance and any planned assessments.
One useful comparison
Before making an offer, compare this block with at least two nearby streets. Note building type, noise, grade, sun exposure, parking and your likely weekday routine.
