Area Description

Alamo Square neighborhood is a residential neighborhood surrounding a park in San Francisco, California. The park includes a playground and a tennis court, and is frequented by neighbors, tourists, and dog owners. A row of Victorian houses facing the park on Steiner Street, known as the painted ladies, are often shown in the foreground of panoramic pictures of the city's downtown area. On a clear day, the Transamerica Pyramid building and the tops of the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge can be seen from the park’s center. San Francisco’s City Hall can be seen directly down Fulton Street.It is located in the Western Addition, a part of the city's fifth Supervisorial district, and are served by several Muni bus lines including the 5, 21, 22, and 24.

The Alamo Square neighborhood is characterized by Victorian architecture that was left largely untouched by the urban renewal projects in other parts of the Western Addition. The Alamo Square area contains the second largest concentration of large homes (over 10,000 square feet) in San Francisco, after the Pacific Heights neighborhood.

The demographics of the neighborhood are characteristic of other urban neighborhoods that have undergone gentrification: many young people and upper-middle-class homeowners, in addition to a diverse older population. Divisadero Street, which divides Alamo Square from North Panhandle, is home to a number of small businesses including a growing collection of hip and popular restaurants and bars. Efforts on the part of Alamo Square and North Panhandle residents and merchants have led to restrictions on chain stores on the corridor.

Wonderful home, plenty of room, August 10, 2009

By Jill Rayman (Arlington, TN USA)

We had a wonderful stay this last week at your home! There was enough room for the adults and children. Was centrally located and easily accesible from any where in the city. The beds were awesome, very comfy, all the furniture was so nice and made everyone feel so at home. If we venture out that way again we will want to stay here!! It was awesome! The kids loved the play room. Thanks for sharing your home!

Great place to relax - all amenities of home!, April 13, 2009

By Lori Adams (Indianapolis IN)

Catherine, Our stay was wonderful! The house was spotless and very comfortable. Enough room for everyone to have their own space as well as great places for gathering as a group. Loved the office computer with favorite places to eat and visit. Plus made it easier to get mapquest directions. And the parking garage was great. Didn't ever have to worry about parking on the street. Having the bus stop out front was very helpful for getting downtown. Our favorite part was taking a short walk to Alamo park every morning and evening to walk up the hill and see the sun rise/set as well as the wonderful dog park. The upstairs witches turret was a kid favorite. The kids kind of took over the upstairs as the "kids lair". Only downside was sometimes the street noise could be loud, especially on weekend nights when the church across the street had functions. Besides that everything was great. Thanks again for everything!! ---The Adams Family---
