San Francisco Neighborhoods - Outer Sunset Real Estate
The Outer Sunset and its neighboring Parkside neighborhood
used to be largely desert -- literally; the area was entirely covered
by sand dunes. The district got its name when a former city assessor,
Aurelius E. Buckingham, went into the real estate business and sought
a name that would dodge the area's reputation for gloom. A real estate
boom followed the 1906 earthquake and fire as San Franciscans fled the
shattered and burned downtown areas toward new housing. The completion
of streetcar tunnels from downtown to West Portal (1917) and Judah Street
(1923) only accelerated the boom.
