western addition
Beginning as an early addition to Gold Rush-era San Francisco, and then the city’s center for commerce and culture following the 1906 earthquake, mid-century urban renewal is largely responsible for the Western Addition neighborhood as it exists today. The area is one of the city’s most diverse areas and unites the historic Fillmore Jazz District, Japantown, and the lively Divisadero corridor. Victorian homes, contemporary highrises, and affordable housing opportunities can all be found here.

At the eastern edge of the neighborhood, Jefferson Square Park is a popular destination for picnicking, dog walking, and other outdoor activities. The recently renovated Buchanan Street Mall includes urban greenway, playgrounds, and community gardens spanning 3+ blocks.
