about this
Neighborhood
∎
ALAMO SQUARE - The Alamo Square Historic District is significant as a continuum of distinguished residential architecture by distinguished architects spanning the period from the 1870s to the 1920s. The towered Westerfield House, the renowned “Postcard Row” with its background of the downtown skyline, and the neighboring streetscapes are as identified worldwide with San Francisco as the cable cars and Coit Tower. With a variety of architectural styles, the District is unified in its residential character, relatively small scale, construction type, materials (principally wood), intense ornamentation (especially at entry and cornice), and use of basements and retaining walls to adjust for hillside sites... With a high degree of integrity to its original designs, the District clearly serves as a visual reminder of how businessmen lived two to four generations ago.
A number of movies, television shows and commercials have been filmed in or around Alamo Square. The park features heavily in the 1978 horror film The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and the 2012 romantic comedy The Five-Year Engagement. The opening sequence of the American sitcom Full House (1987-1995) features a romp in Alamo Square Park with the famous row of Victorians in the background.
There are many architecturally significant mansions on the perimeter of the park, including the William Westerfeld House, the Archbishop’s Mansion, the residences of the Russian and German Imperial consuls in the early 1900s, and the mansions on the block diagonally across from the Painted Ladies.
NOPA - NoPa, short for North of the Panhandle, is a vibrant and eclectic neighborhood in San Francisco. Nestled between Golden Gate Park to the west and the bustling Haight-Ashbury district to the east, NoPa offers a unique blend of urban charm and laid-back living.
The neighborhood is characterized by its tree-lined streets, historic Victorian and Edwardian homes, and an increasingly diverse array of shops, cafes, and eateries. It’s a place where old San Francisco meets new, with classic architecture juxtaposed against modern, trendy establishments.
At the heart of NoPa is Divisadero Street, the main thoroughfare that runs through the neighborhood. Here, you’ll find an assortment of dining options ranging from hip coffee shops and farm-to-table restaurants to cozy bars and eclectic eateries. The area is known for its strong local character, with many businesses owned by residents who contribute to its dynamic atmosphere. It’s a place where long-time residents and newcomers mix seamlessly, creating a rich cultural tapestry. The neighborhood also has a strong sense of local pride, with events, farmers’ markets, and street fairs that bring people together and celebrate its unique spirit. Overall, the neighborhood is a delightful blend of historic charm and contemporary flair, making it a sought-after neighborhood for those who appreciate a vibrant, community-oriented urban experience.
