From steel plant to stylish living

Dogpatch was once an industrial hub populated by steel-producing factories and shipbuilding sites. “When we used to have an active port in San Francisco, there were a lot of freights and merchandise coming and going. Housing was relatively modest because workers lived there for the most part,” says Corcoran Icon Properties Realtor Tim Gullicksen who has sold homes in the area. Over the years, the neighborhood's industrial role significantly dwindled as Dogpatch transformed into a bustling haven. Its restaurants, parks and exciting arts and culture scene have propelled it to become one of the trendiest neighborhoods in San Francisco. According to Compass Realtor and Bay Area resident Allison Salzer, "it’s really become very vibrant. You see lots of young people, families and dogs walking around. It’s a fun, new and fresh neighborhood."
Dogpatch's iconic cranes and old factories are the heart of its charm.

Victorians and condos

Many homes are in the Victorian style for which San Francisco is well-known but there are also newer constructions, like modern condos. "In Dogpatch, there's a lot of high-rise condos, which you don’t find in many other parts of San Francisco and they’re all newer. A lot of then even have doormen and rooftops," Salzer says. One-bedroom homes can run as low as $400,000 for one-bedroom while larger homes with extensive city views and more bedrooms can go as high as $1.4 million. Properties typically sell after 61 days on the market. "Even though there are more homes for sale, prices are still rising,” Salzer notes.
