San Francisco Real Estate
San Francisco...in all of the world, there is no place quite like it. Both a city and a county in and of itself, "the city" as it's referred to by just about anyone who lives within a 75 mile radius, is 7 miles by 7 miles in size. This 49 square mile area is home to 799,000 residents by a 2006 survey. As the second most densely populated major city in America, San Francisco offers those who throw their hat into the real estate ring, a bounty of opportunity. To begin to understand the city's allure, you would need a snapshot of what she has to offer.
Quite simply put, if you can't find what you're looking for in San Francisco, it may not exist. Surrounded on three sides by coastal and bay waters, the San Francisco area has some of the best surf on the West Coast and is a natural paradise for sailors, wind-surfers, and power boating enthusiasts alike. Our temperate climate allows for outdoor activity year round. Hiking, running, and biking trails, dog parks, tennis courts, and beaches abound. A city with one NBA basketball team, two NFL football teams, two Major League Baseball teams, and one NHL hockey team all within a 45 minute drive or less will give the sports enthusiast plenty to cheer about. Not to mention the Olympic Club, Pebble Beach, and Harding Park professional golf courses all part of our local backdrop.
If the metropolitan life-style is what you crave, your appetite will be well satiated in San Francisco.

The San Francisco neighborhoods are just as unique as the buildings themselves--each with different landscapes, nightlife, restaurants, and micro-climates. But, just as amazing as San Francisco itself, are the surrounding areas. A day trip to Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Muir Woods, Bodega Bay, Half Moon Bay,Napa and Sonoma Valley, or Monterey are all part of your weekend options.
