Neighborhood

Ocean air, park life, and real neighborhood vibes — that’s Outer Richmond. You’re steps from Lands End and Ocean Beach, plus Golden Gate Park’s car-free JFK Promenade — now a permanent, people-first route for walkers and cyclists.

Getting out and about and experiencing Outer Richmond is easy: hike the Sutro Baths/Lands End trails, then pop into the Lands End Lookout for interesting exhibits, gorgeous views, and yummy snacks. Golden Gate Park’s big annual draws — Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and Outside Lands — are right next door. Balboa Street is a low-key dining hotspot, anchored by Simple Pleasures and La Promenade and energized by new bars, bakeries, and boba shops. For those wanting to enjoy a stroll, Ocean Beach is gorgeous but windy — perfect for long walks and for watching surfers brave the chilly waves. The Cliff House remains closed due to extensive repairs, but the overlooks and trails remain open.

As far as transportation goes, the 38/38R Geary, 31 Balboa, and 5/5R Fulton connect the neighborhood to downtown, with service tweaks in 2025 improving reliability.

The bottom line: Outer Richmond is a wonderful place to call home, and its coastal trails, park access, and practical transit make it an easygoing corner of SF where weekend adventures start right outside your front door.
