San Francisco Neighborhoods - Marina Real Estate
Pastel stucco houses with lavish gardens, stunning views
of Marin, and a high quotient of young beautiful socialites characterize
these residential neighborhoods. You would never know that the area
was one of the worst struck by the 1989 earthquake, which measured 6.7
on the Richter scale. Massive fires destroyed several buildings in the
Marina, but the neighborhood was able to restore its former grandeur
of San Francisco's most desirable places to live, work and visit. The
Loma Prieta earthquake was a wake-up call for Marina developers; the
reconstruction effort brought with it new standards of earthquake-sturdy
construction, and within a decade the Marina had been rebuilt and revamped
with a shiny new face and stronger bone structure. If you're looking
for diversity or an edgy or progressive feel, the Marina probably isn't
your neighborhood - unless you count Fort Mason, which hosts a bounty
of cultural museums and nonprofits. Overall, this is the land of SUVs,
chic fashion and killer spa treatments. Love it, or leave it to the
pretty young things who call it home or home-away-from-home.
