When I have visitors stay, they spend all day enjoying the de Young Museum, theCalifornia Academy of Sciences or the Conservatory of Flowers, all in Golden Gate Park.
Inventory here is low. There are currently only three listings available and the average sales price over the last six months averages about 13 percent over asking. But prices are still manageable here and have room to grow. The average sales price is still slightly under many other San Francisco neighborhoods at $1.1 million.
The homes are spacious and backyards have room for gardens. UCSF is also here, providing jobs.
As time progresses and buyers look for more spacious homes for their families, I believe the Inner Sunset will provide the community they are looking for.
Interested in seeing for yourself? Come by May 3 to the Inner Sunset Sundays 2015 kickoff — or any Sunday — for the farmers market.

A: In the city of Millbrae, along San Mateo Peninsula, is an enticing neighborhood known as “The Meadows.”
It’s a bedroom community in the hills near Interstate 280, originally built and developed by Henry Stoneson. A total of 700 homes were built in the neighborhood between 1956 and 1965. The neighborhood is a close-knit one where most of the neighbors know each other.
The fabulous Millbrae Meadows swim club was added in 1960 and many of the residents are members. Meadows Elementary School, located right in the neighborhood, is highly rated and was recently honored as one of the California Department of Education’s Distinguished Schools for 2014.
Millbrae’s middle and high schools are also well-respected. The weather is desirable, as the area generally has little or no fog.
Millbrae features an attractive downtown around Broadway Street with many charming restaurants and storefronts. The annual Millbrae Art & Wine Festival during Labor Day weekend is also a favorite event of residents and visitors.
Good weather, respected schools, a close-knit community with a traditional downtown — what more could you want? No wonder the Millbrae Meadows neighborhood is one where folks want to move to and where homes sell quickly.

A: When people think of buying in Burlingame, typically they want to begin their search for a home in the Easton Addition neighborhood.
But what we are seeing is prices are a little higher in that neighborhood, so buyers are turning to the Burlingables neighborhood. to find all the things they want in a future family home.
Burlingables is several blocks of beautiful tree-lined streets, close to Washington Park and the Peninsula Tennis Club. It is also within walking distance to charming downtown Burlingame and the train station.
The commute to Silicon Valley and San Francisco is equally easy. There are young families who are beginning their lives here, while others are making the commitment to stay in this up-and-coming neighborhood and expanding their current homes.
Prices in this neighborhood currently range from $1.25 million to $2.1 million with two- and four-bedroom homes available.
