Spotlight on NoPa
This issue we are looking at the North of Panhandle neighborhood, a.k.a. "NoPa." This is an area where more than just the neighborhood name has changed. In the past 20 years we've seen the Divisadero corridor develop into a mecca of cafes, restaurants, bars and shops. Several small condo complexes have been developed, and many multi-unit buildings have been sold as TICs and converted to condos. The area is now home to a a variety of property types and a diverse community, including empty nesters, hipsters and families.
Here's a sampling of what's currently available in NoPa:
2001 McCallister #202, $581,800
2 beds, 2 baths, 1-car parking
Top-floor condo in "The Village in Petrini Place" - the largest condo complex in this district. In-unit laundry, extra storage, near tons of amenities with a WalkScore of 91.
749 Baker St., $729,000
2 beds, 2 baths, 1-car leased parking. This 1892 Victorian unit in a 3-unit building features a shared yard and in-unit laundry. Blocks from the soon-to-open Bi-Rite.
724-728 Lyon #726, $796,000
3 beds, 1.25 baths, 1-car leased parking. This remodeled TIC flat features lots of upgrades, a formal dining room, updated kitchen, and in-unit laundry. Bonus: Has 3 tickets in the condo lottery.
1995 Turk, $2,594,000
4-unit building, 5-car parking. This Marina-style building features four 1-bedroom units with formal dining rooms, views and period details. 2 units delivered vacant. Great investment opportunity. |

| Car-Free? No Problem! |
A recent study conducted by 24/7 Wall Street identified the 10 best cities to live without a car. There were many elements that factored into this decision, including:
• Widely available and efficient public transportation system
• Availability of daily amenities such as groceries, shopping, schools and entertainment easily accessible on foot or by bike
• Walkability
• Mild weather
The study looked at the 100 largest metro areas in the country. Each was evaluated based on the percentage of neighborhoods covered by public transit, the number of jobs within 90-minute travel by that public transportation, the walking score of neighborhoods, amenities available via walking, and the biking opportunities within the area. (Of note: Seven of the top 10 cities are also on Top 50 Bike Friendly Cities list).
The Top 10:
#10 - Boston/Cambridge
# 9 - Los Angeles/Long Beach
# 8 - Salt Lake City
# 7 - Denver
# 6 - San Jose/Sunnyvale
# 5 - Seattle/Tacoma
# 4 - Honolulu
# 3 - New York/Northern New Jersey/Long Island
# 2 - Portland
# 1 - San Francisco/Oakland
According to the study, "San Francisco is held in high regard for its many successful transit systems, including the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority and the Bay Area Rapid Transit district. These systems cover nearly 92% of neighborhoods — the fifth highest rate in the country. San Francisco also has the second highest walk score and is excellent for bicyclists. Commuter rails within the city allow bicyclists to mount with their bicycles, and there is a bike shuttle across the Bay Bridge to help cyclists during rush hour."
We may have lost the title of Best American City for Tourists, but we are the place to live car free! |
