NEIGHBORHOOD

These two beautifully renovated condo-convertible units are situated in the enterprising Twitter corridor of SOMA. This is a bustling area full of entertainment and music venues, excellent dining, coffee shops, and more. There is a new development plan for a large commercial and residential property directly across the street from the building. Some noteworthy nearby hot spots are Asia SF (named Open Table’s 100 hottest restaurants in America 2016), Starbucks, Sightglass Coffee (which houses their headquarters, a coffee bar, and a roastery), Blue Bottle Coffee (arguably some of the best in San Francisco), Cellarmaker Brewing Company, Bar Agricole, Alta CA, Zuni Café (a City staple), and The Market Gourmet Grocery Store.

Getting around the City from this location is a breeze. With a walkscore of 97 and a transit score of 100, you are a short walk to the Civic Center Muni/BART station and you have easy access to bus lines and tech shuttles. This would be a truly ideal residence for employees of Twitter, the Superior Court of California, or students of UC Hastings College of Law, which are all a short distance away. This area of SOMA also places fantastic arts, entertainment, and music venues at your fingertips, including Rickshaw Stop, a stellar small music venue, The Asian Art Museum, The War Memorial and Performing Arts Center, the SF Jazz Center, and the SHN Orpheum Theatre. Nearby greenspaces include Victoria Manalo Draves Park and Civic Center Plaza.

SOMA

Light industry once ruled this quiet backwater district; printing presses, welders, motorcycle repair, with a few dance spots thrown in for good measure. That is until city planners laid out a future more akin to New Your City's SOHO, where galleries and artist lofts might dominate the picture. That vision didn't quite materialize, though big changes remained just over the horizon for this centrally located enclave.

San Francisco had its dot-com explosion in the 90's and suddenly it was hip to live and work in SOMA. 3rd street saw the introduction of a major SF MOMA location, followed by Yerba Buena, and the Jewish Museum. Things very quickly shifted as multimillionaire tech-heads began populating the office spaces and lunchtime eateries, shifting the neighborhood's economic fortunes forever.

Once unremarkable warehouses were transformed into offices that boasted the latest Internet connectivity. Old printing factories now became the city's hottest luxury lofts. Folks began taking note of the Victorian cottages nestled in the modest alleys between the broad thoroughfares. This period also saw the rebirth of the Ferry Building at the end of Market. This classic historic structure morphed quickly into an exceptional food emporium and farmer market location without rival. SOMA remains today an urban district where dreams are made, in a comfortable setting unlike any other. And all within biking or walking distance.
