South of the Excelsior, north of Daly City. Classic single-family San Francisco homes in a historically working-class neighborhood with a county line running across it from east to west. A little more spacious than the Excelsior, but not so spacious that you’ll think you’ve left the city.
Crocker Amazon Neighborhood Vibe
What once would have been described as a blue-collar working-class neighborhood is defined along the northern edge by Geneva Avenue and the Crocker Amazon fields and playgrounds. As the neighborhood heads south, the elevation increases and before you know it you’ve been lifted into Daly City.
Popular Crocker Amazon Home Styles
Similar in style to the Excelsior and other southern neighborhoods like the Portola and Visitacion Valley. Homes are traditionally on 25′ wide lots, sometimes built to the edges, other times fully detached. From Spanish Med stuccos to nondescript two-bedroom, one-bathroom homes above a garage, you’ll see a typical range of San Francisco style single-family homes.

Median sales price is calculated based on sold data and doesn’t account for seller concessions. Median price represents the point at which half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less. In smaller neighborhoods like many of those found in San Francisco, this metric is less likely to be influenced by extremely high or low sales prices that don’t represent the typical neighborhood home.
Days on Market indicates how quickly or slowly homes are selling in the neighborhood. The lower the days on market (DOM), the stronger the market is for sellers, all other things being equal.
The number of homes available for sale in active status at the end of a given month. Fewer homes available for sale may indicate a seasonal trend or market dynamics that favor a seller more than a buyer.
In strong or balanced markets, homes in San Francisco typically sell over asking. In a buyer’s market, homes will sell at list price or slightly under. If a home has had price reductions, the calculation is based on the last listed price.
Price per square foot is most useful when the homes are almost identical in size, age, layout and other factors important to buyers. Our experience suggests it is a more valuable metric in larger condo buildings and less valuable for homes in neighborhoods built with a diverse selection of styles, sizes, and ages.
Crocker-Amazon is a neighborhood on the southern edge of San Francisco. It is bordered by the Outer Mission to the west, Mission Terrace and Excelsior to the north, Visitacion Valley to the east, and Daly City to the south. On an SFAR (San Francisco Association of Realtors) MLS (add internal link) map, Crocker-Amazon is identified as neighborhood 10B.
Named for Amazon Avenue and landowner Charles Crocker, one of the founders of the Central Pacific Railroad, the first transcontinental railroad. The neighborhood features a Walgreens at 965 Geneva Ave that still retains the exterior of the original Amazon Theatre, a movie house built in 1928. Crocker Amazon Park began to be developed in the 1930s when truck farmers were bought out from their leases on the land.
Along the commercial stretches of Mission and Geneva streets, you’ll find plenty of murals
and casual, locally owned neighborhood spots with foods from every corner of the planet.
Crocker-Amazon is a quiet, family-friendly area with plenty of features for local kids and adults, like the Alice Chalmer’s Playground, featuring a 35-foot-tall vertical play structure. Crocker-Amazon Park offers playgrounds and athletic fields, and the nearby McLaren Park, which at 313 acres is the city’s second-largest recreation area (after Golden Gate Park), features a dog park, soccer fields, tennis or pickleball courts, a golf course, and plenty of hiking trails.
Crocker-Amazon has working class roots and a gentrifying trend, and offers its residents a mix of urban and suburban vibes. The area features mostly single-family homes on 25-foot lots, many owned and maintained by generations’ worth of immigrant families, a fluctuating climate, and plenty of public transportation, including the nearby Balboa BART Station. Commuters also have easy access to 280 and Alemany Boulevard.
As an “already built” neighborhood, Crocker Amazon is not a neighborhood where you should expect to find substantial new construction projects. Smaller developers may renovate/flip existing single family properties, or may take advantage of recent housing laws to add additional units to already existing housing. Transit corridors and major neighborhood streets are the most likely areas for new construction buildings in already built neighborhoods with existing housing stock.
