Welcome to South Beach
Urban and vibrant downtown with waterside views
San Francisco is known for many gems, and South Beach might rank number one on that list. The views, urban vibe, and trendy options for food, fun, and shopping draw in people from near and far. Being located on the eastern edge of the city, close to highways, transit systems, and amenities galore makes this neighborhood a favorite for commuters and busy residents. Known for being one of the area's most affluent and diverse neighborhoods, the stunning residences back this perfectly. High-rise condominiums throughout South Beach will blow you away with views of both the skyline and the bay's blue water below. The majority of condominiums in the area are new, featuring modern hardware, full amenities, and floor-to-ceiling windows to allow you to soak up as much (or as little) sun as you desire. You will also find loft buildings with historical exteriors paired with modern luxury interiors to convey the "classic with a twist" vibe creating some of the best living environments in the area.
South Beach is a trendy part of San Francisco, adored by fun-loving professionals that enjoy the finer things in life and spend their days exploring their local area. Commutes to jobs in the Financial District, SoMa and Mission Bay are quick and easy, and nights out can last late into the evening hours if you wish. Like most urban settings, there’s an emphasis on being a great area for conveniences, work, fine dining, walking on the waterfront and it’s also pet-friendly. Simply put, the area has been curated to offer a little bit of everything to any resident that calls the neighborhood home.
