yerba buena
Yerba Buena is often included in discussion of the South of Market and South Beach areas, but it has plenty of reason to stand on its own. Taking up residence here means living in San Francisco’s cultural center, a fast-paced hub where high-brow installations meet pop culture, and history mingles with cutting-edge innovation. Its central location puts just about every urban amenity within reach and, as day turns to night, the neighborhood is teeming with the energy of the city’s pleasure seekers.

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and Yerba Buena Gardens — complete with historic carousel, playground, ice skating rink, and bowling — attract locals and tourists alike. So, too, do summer concerts in Yerba Buena Gardens, special events in the historic US Mint, and conventions at Moscone Center.
On brick-paved Yerba Buena Lane, popular restaurants with outdoor seating sit opposite the architecturally-significant Contemporary Jewish Museum and 19th-century St. Patrick’s Church. At either end of the lane, Market and Mission streets entertain a constant flow of shoppers, travelers, businesspeople, and characters from all walks of life.
