There seem to be lots of threads about Sunset, Noe Valley, etc., but why no one really discusses about the older/classical neighborhoods like:
NoPa
Cole Valley
Duboce Triangle etc?
We went to Cole Valley/Haight Ashbury area and it was lovely! Commute to downtown also seems pretty convenient… Is the lack of interest because these neighborhoods are pretty expensive already?
Well, if we had posters who live in those areas or who were looking to buy in those areas I am sure we would be talking about them more. Yes, nice expensive neighborhoods but street parking is kinda tough in those areas. The thing that I like about the Sunset besides the availability of street parking in general is that while the homes are for the most part still touching each other, most streets consist of mostly 2 storied maximum SFHs and with the streets being fairly wide you get a sense of more space.
Keep in mind that I was commenting on SFGate a long time ago before you created this world and even back then I was high on the Sunset. Those who listened and bought in the Sunset made tons of money. I could have bought anywhere at that time since I was single, but I knew the Sunset’s sun was rising. I still have the actual email that Alex my RE agent sent me to check out the pocket listing that turned out to be my very home to this day. Now, shacks in the outer Sunset go easily for over 1M.
Re: thses older homes, how is the noise level between floors? I used to live in a multi unit in south bay, and I could literally draw out my upstairs neighbor’s walking path.
The newer condos don’t seem to have this problem as they’re built in concrete, etc.
