San Francisco Neighborhoods - South of Market Area
(SoMa) Real Estate
To the unititiated, South of Market appears to stretch
on like an industrial wasteland, but the area is actually home to a
good bit of liveliness. This is where the Leather and Levi's community
began to congregate in the 1940s and 50s. From there, a wild and wonderful
nightlife scene emerged. This former industrial zone is in a cultural
renaissance, with museums, galleries and multimedia companies reviving
the area. The SoMa that exists today is one of artists, clubs and New
York-style loft living. This incarnation is so different from the rubble
it came from that it's almost impossible to see through the district's
history, which is brimming with tales of shanty towns, refineries, factories,
gambling and miners. This tech boom has made SoMa a more desirable place
to live. The warehouses, which used to be affordable live/work spaces
for artists, are now being converted (and built from scratch) at a staggering
rate.
