Experience distinctive urban loft living at Haight Street Lofts, a boutique condominium community in San Francisco's vibrant Lower Haight neighborhood. Located at 645 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA 94117, this unique 20-unit mid-rise building offers light-filled two-level lofts with soaring ceilings, dramatic windows, and convenient access to Lower Haight's eclectic shops, cafes, and cultural scene.
Originally constructed in 1925 as the Historic Luxor Taxi Garage, the building was thoughtfully converted into 20 modern residential lofts in 1994. The adaptive reuse transformation created bright, contemporary living spaces that blend industrial character with residential comfort. While the vintage industrial features have been largely modernized, the result is airy interiors characterized by expansive windows, tall ceilings in living areas, hardwood floors throughout, and warm wood accents.

End units offer particularly light-filled layouts with windows on multiple exposures and sliding glass doors leading to private back patios.
The building provides one-car deeded garage parking for each residence, secured entry, bike storage, common area rooftop patio deck for residents, and low-maintenance mid-rise living. The intimate 20-unit building creates a close-knit community atmosphere.
