REAL ESTATE • On the Market
Lots of people driving past the athletic field between Stanyan Street and Lincoln Boulevard have no idea they’re passing the original home of both the San Francisco 49ers and (the team once known as) the Las Vegas Raiders. But until 1971, Kezar Stadium was hallowed NFL grounds, hosting the Raiders for the team’s inaugural season and the Niners for a decade-plus. It wasn’t until 1989 that the facility was transformed into the open-to-the-community space it is today, the high bleachers demolished to allow a sightline to Golden Gate Park.
That redevelopment didn’t just remove some nightmare gameday traffic jams, but also made the stadium’s adjacent neighborhoods even more attractive to residents, a trend that continues today. Compass notes that the Cole Valley/Parnassus Heights area saw 29 homes change hands last year at a median price of $3.68M, while the Inner Sunset saw 30 move at $1.676M. Here, three listings that would have been within shouting distance of Minnesota Viking Jim Marshall’s famous wrong way run.
