San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood wasn’t always a trendy, happening neighborhood. Chances are, until recently, most San Francisco residents wouldn’t have been able to point it out on the map. But beginning in the 1990s, developers began in earnest, transforming the neighborhood’s former industrial space into housing and commercial space. In fact, according to a recent report from the San Francisco Planning Department, more industrial space is being converted to housing in the Dogpatch than in any other neighborhood in the city. This rapid evolution has put Dogpatch squarely on the map. It’s now a favorite up-and-coming neighborhood, or as Huffington Post called it in 2013, “San Francisco’s newest indie neighborhood.” That rising popularity makes sense. Not only has the Dogpatch added loads of housing since the Dot Com boom, now trendy cafes, off-beat shops, and pop-up farmers markets are sprouting up on every corner. The rate of develop doesn’t seem likely to slow any time soon either. At least five condo buildings are set to rise in the next 18 months, the mega development at Pier 70 is hoping to break ground in 2017, and many of the neighborhood’s historic properties are being slated for conversion to lofts and upscale condos. Simply put, the up-and-coming Dogpatch is coming into its own. A Changing Landscape Dogpatch wasn’t much of a neighborhood prior to the 1990s. There were few residents, and the neighborhood was mostly home to warehouses and industrial facilities. Until recently, that gritty, industrial past was still visible, but with the recent spate of development, Dogpatch has mostly shed its working-class roots. This rapid change is causing property values...

All across San Francisco, neighborhoods are quickly evolving, with multi-unit buildings replacing underutilized parcels and single-family homes. The transformation is most evident in a select set of neighborhoods, like the Mission, Dogpatch, and SoMa, to name a few. Yet, established neighborhoods aren’t immune to the development rush, and the transformation is playing out in these iconic SF districts in more subtle ways. Noe Valley is a prime example. As recently as the 1990s, Noe was a rough-around-the-edges community; home and commercial spaces sat vacant and in disrepair. But thanks to the Dot Com years, the neighborhood rapidly evolved into what we know it today – an upscale, family-oriented neighborhood – Stroller Town as it’s now colloquially known. That evolution is continuing in this latest real estate boom. Noe has long been one of the hottest neighborhoods in the city, with listings sparking a bidding wars and aging single-family homes undergoing multimillion-dollar flips. Noe’s Victorian and Edwardian row houses – one of the largest concentrations in the city — are being replaced with modern, mega-square-foot castles. And retail property owners are looking to add square footage and housing along the neighborhood’s 24th Street corridor. The question remains: How will Noe Valley fare during the latest real estate boom? Will the neighborhood retain its quaint, manicured Victorian charm? Noe Valley’s Latest Transformation In recent years, Noe Valley has become a prime neighborhood for new home construction. Aging Victorian and Edwardian homes are being demolished and replaced with luxury mansions, at the chagrin of neighboring homeowners. Some of these projects are truly eye-popping: A 1,050-square-foot two bedroom was recently replaced by a...
