This area of the City is known for its fog. Its northern border consists of Golden Gate Park/Lincoln, southern Ortega, between Ocean Beach to the west and Sunset Blvd to the east. This is a middle class neighborhood. It is also a beach neighborhood with unusually cold weather. Many of the houses look like 1940 beach houses in neat rows each two stories with garages underneath. Many of these houses have ocean views. Public transportation is available via bus and street car lines.
The Outer Sunset used to be sand dunes. The Sunset was a place where the wealthier Irish and Italians moved. In 1964, The Chronicle stated that the Sunset was 85.5% White, during the 1960's this demographics changed with the relaxation of immigration laws. The Great Sand Bank was converted into trim modern houses by builders such as the Gellert Brothers, Ray Galli, and Oliver Rousseau among them. Now the Sunset is composed of large Chinese community (about 1/2 the population) and 1/2 mixed.
