A thin sliver of streets as north as you can be on the west side of town without being in the Presidio. Compared to the Richmond, you’ll generally find larger homes on shorter streets with select homes opening up to back-door Presidio access. West Clay is an exclusive enclave of special homes within a special neighborhood.

Neighborhood Vibe
People love the Lake Street district for the eponymous leafy, tree-lined street that runs through it. It’s family-friendly and also appealing to outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate having the Presidio within a stone’s throw of their front door. Sedate, but never boring, Lake Street is synonymous with quintessential San Francisco.
Popular Home Styles
Stately single-family homes line leafy Lake Street, where the homes are on a slightly smaller scale than their counterparts in nearby Presidio Heights. Condos in small buildings, a few TICs, and multi-unit buildings are sprinkled throughout the neighborhood as well.
Getting Around
Public transit options aren’t abundant, but the 1-California bus line carries commuters downtown, and the 38-Geary is a few blocks away. Car commuters to the North Bay can wind their way through the Presidio to the Golden Gate Bridge; those venturing to the Bay Bridge or the freeways to reach points south will likely spend part of their day in crosstown traffic.

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.

Lake Street is a neighborhood in the northwestern part of San Francisco. It is bordered by Sea Cliff to the west, The Presidio National Park to the north, Presidio Heights to the east, and the Central and Inner Richmond districts to the south. On an SFAR (San Francisco Association of Realtors) MLS (add internal link) map, Lake Street is identified as neighborhood 1d.
Lake Street residents take pride in maintaining the beautiful and stately Victorian and Edwardian homes, which you can glimpse on a walk through the family-friendly neighborhood. Lake Street is also within a short distance from some famous San Francisco landmarks, like the Golden Gate Bridge, Baker Beach, Crissy Field, and the Presidio National Park, home to sculptural installations by artist Andy Goldsworthy, military artifacts and forts, and a Korean War memorial.
The Lake Street neighborhood is a quiet, dignified, family-friendly neighborhood with commercial destinations on nearby Clement Street. Its proximity to some of the city’s largest and most beautiful parks and vistas contributes to its appeal for home owners and buyers.
Lake Street is full of high-end, meticulously maintained homes, in a quiet setting with good schools and ready access to many of the city’s most notable attractions. It’s definitely one of the city’s more sought-after neighborhoods, especially for families.
As an “already built” neighborhood, Lake Street 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.
