South Beach

South Beach is San Francisco’s newest, up-and-coming neighborhood. Located South of Market, it is surrounded by the newly renovated Embarcadero and Bay Bridge to the North and East, 2nd Street and King Street to the West and South.

For decades, the real estate in the South Beach neighborhood of San Francisco had mainly consisted of warehouses, storage yards and dilapidated piers. Beginning in 1981, the city began to transform the area into a mixed-use development. Now it is one of the ritziest neighborhoods in The City. Considered by some to be the “new Nob Hill,” South Beach is home to some of the most desirable and valued condominiums, live/work lofts and interior design stores in San Francisco.

One of the most prominent features of South Beach is AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants (see virtual tours here and here). This has enticed many new services and restaurants into the area. Some of the most notable restaurants and cafes in the area include Jack Falstaff, MoMo’s, South Park Café, Crossroads Café and Tres Agaves. And look for great wine bars like Local Kitchen & Wine Merchant and District Wine Bar. It's a quick walk to the always-exciting and gourmet Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building, and on the way down the Embarcadero check out Pat Kuleto's Waterbar and Epic Roadhouse.

Mission Bay

For most of its life, the Mission Bay and Central Waterfront districts of San Francisco were wholly undeveloped, besides a sparse array of warehouses, factories and shipping yards. Now, Mission Bay is a nationally recognized hotspot of condos, lofts and biotech research facilities. It is truly a neighborhood in the making.

It was established as a redevelopment area by the city of San Francisco in 1998. Catellus (owned by ProLogis) contracted with the city to create a thriving new neighborhood. While this took longer than expected, momentum has brought a flurry of activity, from California’s the Stem Cell Research headquarters to the new UCSF Mission Bay campus. This campus features amenities for the entire neighborhood, like the Mission Bay Bakar Fitness & Recreation Center, which features a kid’s center, climbing wall, library, and even a pub.

There are a few dining and entertainment hot spots in the area, including The Ramp, Kelly’s Mission Rock, Project One, Couleur Cafe and SubLounge. However, Mission Bay and the Central Waterfront are adjacent to Potrero Hill, South of Market and South Beach and all the amenities they possess. At first glance, there doesn’t appear to be much liveliness on the streets. But look for a new, green bike path along Mission Creek, the Blue Greenway path from China Basin to Candlestick Point, and easy access to the rest of the city via the Third Street Light Rail, which will most likely increase real estate property values.

Don’t miss a small but growing neighborhood at the southern end of the area: Dogpatch, located along the 3rd Street corridor, offers history, unique architecture, and a few good culinary destinations, including Yield Wine Bar, Piccino Cafe, Serpentine, Hard Knox Cafe and Just for You Cafe.
