Outer Sunset Gives NY Times the (middle) Finger

November 29, 2010 by Matt Fuller, GRI Leave a Comment

Ah, San Francisco’s Outer Sunset. The land of shivering surfers that is adored by some, ignored by many (locals), and completely misunderstood by the elitist-east-coast media establishment. But before I continue, it really is quite cathartic to be sitting in San Francisco and calling other people elitist and establishment. This post has been brought to you by the letter “E”, but I digress…

Never one to take harsh insults (bleak, for example) hurled their way, residents of the Outer Sunset have reacted to their ignoble media reputation. Eve Batey, Editor and Publisher of the SF Appeal weighed in over at curbedsf.com last week with a guest post about all that she loves (and doesn’t love) about the Outer Sunset (and she should know, since she lives there, unlike that magazine). Highlights? Surfers getting naked (er, changing) in doorways and other spots. Downside? Car Alarms that annoy for hours on end…

Since winter has definitely arrived in San Francisco, we’ve been reminded of another thing love about the neighborhood: watching winter storms roll in at Ocean Beach. In addition to watching some incredible waves break, you get a free dermabrasion thanks to the sand blowing in your face. That’s not just entertainment folks, that’s two-for-one value hard to find in this town! For those of you not in any particular hurry, you can wind your way out to Ocean Beach via the N-Judah line. For those that actually have a schedule to keep, street parking is pretty easy (for this town, at least).

We’ve seen it (almost) all when touring and showing houses in the Outer Sunset. One of our favorites that stands out from recent memory is the listing agent who advertised her listing in the ‘hood as being an “easy commute to Silicone Valley.” Which is perhaps one of the better typos we’ve seen in real estate marketing in quite some time.

Outer Sunset: Foggy? Yes. Bleak? Nah, that’s just harsh!

November 20, 2010 by Matt Fuller, GRI 4 Comments

The New York Times Travel section has a brief little blurb on the Outer Sunset neighborhood in San Francisco, which happens to feature a store that showcases work from some of our clients. The store is Woodshop – and it is located at 3725 Noriega Street (open by appointment only). It features surfboards from Danny Hess, who is an incredibly talented surfer and surfboard designer.

His wife is an amazing photographer. If you need a custom surfboard or a photographer, you couldn’t hire better. When they bought their house in the Outer Sunset, it was, well, a disaster. But they both have an amazing sense of style, and turned their rundown home into something quite beautiful.

But anyway, back to New York Times article about the Outer Sunset. Bleak? I mean, really? It certainly doesn’t have the sunshine or murals of the Inner Mission, and it is a fairly quiet residential neighborhood, but I have to take issue with the description of the neighborhood. I mean, really! When did quiet and foggy become a synonym for bleak? If we are going to paint the Outer Sunset with the “bleak” brush because it is quiet and residential, then we might as well do the same to every suburb in America… Oh wait… back up… Most suburbs in America are bleak… but the Outer Sunset, while gray, foggy, and sleepy, just isn’t!

So hop on the N-Judah or drive out to Ocean Beach and start exploring! Make an appointment at Woodshop, visit Outerlands for a bite to eat, or hit Trouble Coffee for a cup of Joe, and after you discover for yourself that a quiet neighborhood nestled up against the Pacific Ocean isn’t at all that nasty b-word, give us a call and we’ll see if we can’t find you a sweet pad of your own to call home in the neighborhood.
