The Sunset District is the city and county of San Francisco's biggest neighborhood. The Pacific Ocean and Golden Gate Park comprise the neighborhood's northern boundary. The Parkside neighborhood is a portion of the Sunset District towards its southeastern edge. Much of the region was covered in sand dunes prior to the residential and commercial development of the Sunset District, and was initially referred to as the "Outside Lands" by 19th century San Franciscans.
The Sunset District and Richmond District are often collectively known as The Avenues, because the majority of both neighborhoods are spanned by north-south avenues.
The Inner Sunset is bordered by Lincoln Way to the north, 2nd Ave to the east, Quintara Street to the south, and 19th Avenue to the west. It is the 12th wealthiest neighborhood in San Francisco with a median income of $112,050. Food offered by restaurants located in the Inner Sunset includes pizza, Mexican, Thai, Persian, Korean, Malaysian, Hawaiian, Greek, Ethiopian, Pakistani, Cajun/Creole, Dim Sum, Turkish, Peruvian, Chinese, Vietnamese.
The Central Sunset is one of the most residential neighborhoods in San Francisco. It is bordered by Lincoln Way to the north, 19th Avenue to the east, Quintara Street to the south, and Sunset Boulevard to the west. Features of the area include the Sunset Reservoir (which takes up eight square blocks) and Golden Gate Park.
The Outer Sunset is bounded to the north by Lincoln Way, to the east by Sunset Boulevard (between 36th and 37th avenues), to the south by Sloat Boulevard, and to the west by Ocean Beach. Judah, Noriega, and Taraval are the main business streets. Due to its proximity to Ocean Beach, the Outer Sunset is San Francisco's foggiest neighborhood.
The San Francisco Zoo, Golden Gate Park, Ocean Beach, and Lake Merced are among the area's most popular attractions. Sand carried by Pacific Ocean winds can be found on roadways and driveways within the first five to ten blocks east of Ocean Beach. Fort Funston has some of the last remnants of the sand dune ecosystem that once covered the entire Sunset District.
