Ingleside Terrace is a San Francisco neighborhood with a suburban vibe. Located in San Francisco’s OMI (Oceanview, Merced Heights, Ingleside) district, just south of Ocean Avenue and east of Junipero Serra Boulevard, Ingleside Terrace is a neighborhood of wide streets, small “vest pocket” green spaces, quiet cul-de-sacs, and uncluttered sightlines made possible by underground utilities. An active homeowner’s association and regularly scheduled community events offer the neighborhood a friendly sense of unity.
Developed in the early 1900s by architect/developer Joseph Leonard, Ingleside Terrace was built on the site that had once been occupied by the Ingleside Racetrack. Leonard highlighted the land’s history by turning the original racetrack into the centerpiece of the neighborhood’s street layout, Urbano Drive. Located within the mile long, oval “track” is a small park with what might be the world’s largest sundial. The sundial serves as a gathering spot for neighborhood activities, which include an annual picnic and Christmas caroling during the holidays.
