Sunset Boulevard is primarily a street designed for quick transportation from one end of the Sunset to the other end. Starting at Lake Merced, Sunset empties into Golden Gate Park. The entire street consists of 6-laned traffic with many stop lights. It serves as a very good alternative to 19th Avenue as it runs a lot faster almost all the time in order to get around in the Sunset. It is closer to the beach than 19th Avenue is and has no houses on the actual Sunset Boulevard street.

The street has pretty surroundings as it is covered by green and trees. Buses run aplenty on Sunset Boulevard and serves as an easy transportation method. Although there are no houses on Sunset Boulevard, living in a nearby street may be a smart idea as you are close to all the transportation. The houses around Sunset Boulevard are normal Sunset district housing which consist of wall-to-wall houses.
