Real Estate - North Beach

North Beach, San Francisco CA. North Beach is a vibrant and perennially buzzing San Francisco neighborhood djacent to Chinatown and Fisherman's Wharf. Considered one of the "Great Neighborhoods in America" by the American Planning Association (APA), North Beach has had a turn as an historic center for the beatnik subculture, then as San Francisco's Little Italy until the mid 1980s. While the area still has a creative and lively feel, as well as the best and largest collection of Italian restaurants in San Francisco, North Beach is currently home to a popular red light and nightlife scene, with many jazz clubs, nightclubs and popular bars peppered in between cafes and quirky local shops. This area is largely residential with a vast array of apartment homes in varying sizes, and nearly everything is within walking distance.
