Come down to the waterfront
Dining districts, waterfront views and easy walkability define Northern Waterfront. “It’s a walker's paradise, says Eli Kuo, a Realtor with Keller Williams who’s been selling Bay Area real estate since 2004. “People who want to live the city life and walk or take public transportation would move there.” North Waterfront is the throbbing nerve center of San Francisco’s tourist district. “It’s in the heart of the tourist district in San Francisco,” says Kuo. Attractions along the waterfront range from walking districts like Fisherman’s Wharf, with its shops and historic sites, to the ships that drift in and out of Aquatic Cove.

People on Polk Street and Little Italy
People in Northern Waterfront have plenty of options for eating and going out, from the pizza shops and restaurants in Little Italy to the bar and nightlife scene on Polk Street. Both of these districts are a short walk from the condos and other residences in Northern Waterfront. Little Italy has its own vibe, and people living there are proud of the area's long history and culture. “You can see Italian flags all over the place,” says Kuo. “Some are even painted on the walls.” Cotogna serves house-made pasta, meat and seafood roasted in a wood-burning oven, and sources its ingredients from local farms. For groceries, most people head to Trader Joe's or North Beach Food Mart, which are both close to the neighborhood. Polk Street is packed with bars and nightlife spots, like Macondray and 221 Club, and the strip is the place to be on weekends.
