Comments

  • A changing and gentrifying area of San Francisco. Includes many Victorian apartment buildings, mostly 2 and 3 unit Italianate Stick style with a few older. A diverse mix of residents including a dwindling population of San Francisco's African American middle class. Popular with young single people, post college young professionals for its proximity to GG Park, nightclubs and restaurants -- including the popular NOPA restaurant. Young families continue to move into the neighborhood buying or renting relatively affordable flats and small houses. Buyers often restore them back to original appearance. Gentrification has caused some friction, but at a far lower level than in the Mission District. Tour buses regularly drive through the area for the architecture and to transit between adjoining Alamo Square and Golden Gate Park. The main commercial street is Divisidero, which marks NOPAs eastern boundary and Fulton near Masonic Street which marks the western boundary.
  • The western boundary is Stanyan Street, not Masonic as stated in another comment. Southern boundary is Fell Street.
