The Neighborhood Block by Block
The Sundial in the Middle
The Ingleside Terraces Sundial, a San Francisco Designated Landmark, stands in a small park at the center of the neighborhood. It was built in 1913 to draw attention to the new development, and it still does.

Palms and Wide Streets
Tall palms, wide streets and front gardens give the neighborhood a sunnier, more Southern California feel than most of the west side.

Questions We Hear
Are There Any Notable Historical Landmarks or Sites in Ingleside Terraces?
Ingleside Terraces is one of the most well-preserved examples of the city’s nine original garden residence parks; self-contained and well-planned areas intended to replicate the feeling of suburban living in close proximity to all of San Francisco’s diversions. Construction began in 1911 at the site of the former Ingleside Racetrack, and the neighborhood is now home to nearly 750 homes, many of them Craftsmans, but with other architectural styles included.
San Francisco Designated Landmarks in Ingleside Terraces include the Ingleside Terraces Sundial, a 28-foot long, 17-foot high feature built in 1913, and the Neoclassical-style Ingleside Presbyterian church, built in 1923 and featuring The Great Cloud of Witnesses, a collage‐murall with thousands of newspaper and magazine clippings, posters, framed prints, painted murals and other objects that tell the stories of inspirational African Americans.
What Is There to Do in Ingleside Terraces?
Like its neighbors, Ingleside Terraces is one of the quieter and more purely residential parts of San Francisco, but with close proximity to commercial corridors including Ocean Avenue, West Portal, and the Stonestown mall. Other nearby attractions include the San Francisco Golf Club, the San Francisco Zoo, the recreational area of Lake Merced and Fort Funston, and the long stretch of Ocean Beach.
How Does the Community Vibe in Ingleside Terraces Contribute to its Real Estate Appeal?
Not to be confused with neighbors Ingleside and Ingleside Heights, Ingleside Terraces is a more affluent neighborhood, retaining the charm of its origin as a San Francisco residence park. The single-family homes were mostly built in the 1920s, mainly in the Arts and Crafts style, with some Tudor, Colonial, and Mediterranean companions. Ingleside Terraces has an active neighborhood association working to preserve its character. Residents can easily walk to many of the shopping and dining options along Ocean Avenue, and Ingleside Terraces is close to public transit options and I-280 for commuting.
Where Can I Find New Construction in Ingleside Terraces?
As an “already built” neighborhood, Ingleside Terraces is not a neighborhood where you should expect to find substantial new construction projects. Smaller developers may renovate/flip existing 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.
