You are here: / Homes for Sale by NeighborhoodPowerful riptides can be deadly just off San Francisco’s Ocean Beach, so maybe that’s why housing developers haven't dared to dip their toes in the neighboring Outer Sunset neighborhood. Three-quarters of the neighborhood’s housing stock are low-rise, single family homes, and the Outer Sunset has seen a paltry 66 new housing units built in the last 15 years, according to the Planning Department. That makes a 42-unit, four-story apartment building just proposed for the corner of 19th Avenue and Quintara Street somewhat bold. Submitted to the Planning Department this week, plans are for the landowners and Gary Gee Architects Inc. to build on a parking lot right on the border of the Outer Sunset and Inner Sunset. The proposal for 1001 Quintara also lists exemption requests to build denser than the site currently allows and to build slightly less open space than required. Gee didn’t return a request for comment. It comes a week after a 12-unit project was proposed to replace a gas station at 3601 Lawton, and as the largest Outer Sunset housing project in years – 56 units at 2800 Sloat Boulevard – starts construction.

(All the planned housing projects of more than 10 units in "west side neighborhoods" – the Sunset, the Richmond and Parkmerced – are mapped below. The data comes from the Planning Department.) Compared to growing neighborhoods like the Mission District and South of Market, this doesn’t exactly look like a housing wave. But it’s significant considering west side neighborhoods have resisted adding density and spent decades trying to preserve the low-rise character of those areas. That includes a political brawl during Gavin Newsom’s mayoral tenure over a Planning Department proposal “that would have increased density and removed parking along many major commercial strips well served by public transit,” according to San Francisco Public Press. Supervisor Katy Tang last year became the first west side representative to advocate for more housing along the transit corridor. She crafted a “blueprint” to add 1,000 units to the Sunset without increasing heights to “ensure that any growth in the Sunset District does not adversely impact the existing residential neighborhood character.”

Her office has also identified several “opportunity sites” that are zoned for residential development to rise 40 to 50 feet. Those mostly include sites in the Outer Sunset, along 30th, 32nd and 46th avenues.Second Hand Reproduction Furniture For Sale Some other larger, long-term projects will eventually pop up nearby.

And just south of the Sunset and near the Daly City border, the massive, three-decade Parkmerced redevelopment is ready to break ground.

The developer will present plans for first phase of the 5,679-unit project Thursday to the Planning Commission. The Business Times incorrectly reported that the Quintara Street project would replace office buildings. It will be built on parking lots, and won't demolish office buildings.An Outer Sunset Single-Family Home For Sale 1643 44th Avenue: An Outer Sunset Tunnel-Entry Home with an Ocean Soundtrack Convenient Home Located Near the Outerlands/Andytown Enclave 1643 44th Avenue is a great opportunity to own an Outer Sunset single-family home located just 2 blocks away from the hip Outerlands enclave at Judah and 44th extending out to Ocean Beach.
