The term “downtown” can be interpreted in different ways. It depends upon where you live as to what you may call Downtown. It can also be a personal interpretation of the term. If you live in one of the many luxury apartments in San Francisco California, Downtown may be what is outside your door or closer to the Bay Area. Yet, there is little argument, if you live in San Francisco California, that the Downtown is synonymous with Union Square.
Union Square
This neighborhood is active 24/7. It is as urban as you can get it with activities covering all hours of the day. You can sit at a sidewalk café sipping you morning latte or spend all night in a bar. Union Square is the principle shopping and hotel district in San Francisco, California. Her you can find the best of local and international food to dine out on. Here, too, is shop-until-you-drop territory.
Other Neighborhoods in Downtown San Francisco California
Union Square is but one neighborhood of the Downtown District, although it is one that leaves a powerful impression. There are other parts that make the downtown more diverse than it would at first appear to be. These include the following:
- Embarcadero
- The Financial District
- Civil Centre
- China Town
- North Beach
- Nob Hill
- Russian Hill
- Fisherman’s Wharf
Each of these neighborhoods, sectors or areas is one reason why people continue to opt to live in everything from standard to luxury apartments in San Francisco California. They want to become part of the life and lifestyle of the city. They are caught up with the history of Nob Hill, once the home of the city’s wealthiest people. They romanticize the life of those who eke their living out on the Bay and celebrate what they catch at Fisherman’s Wharf.
History is all around you if you choose to open your eyes. In San Francisco, it is a walk, a cable car or a ferry away. In fact, the cable cars and the Ferries are history. They speak of the past but move you onwards in the present. The same can be said of the craft beers. Is it any wonder that the major symbol or landmark of this city is the Historic yet very present Golden Gate Bridge? To become a part of it, you can visit. However, if you rent a room or purchase one of the luxury apartments in San Francisco California, you can become a part of the city’s living history.
