Vibrant arts and culture in the heart of San Francisco
Replete with city skyline views, art museums, fine dining and high-end boutiques, Yerba Buena is San Francisco’s bustling cultural center. Residents leave their high-end condo complexes and enter a streetscape brimming with glass-walled skyscrapers, urban parks and beloved city attractions. “You’ve got this meld of young, well-educated people, tourists and people who want to be near the center of the San Francisco art world,” says Justin Goldberg of Compass Realty, who grew up in the neighboring SoMa district. “It’s a really great community, and there’s a lot do.”
Yerba Buena is comprised of a mix of residential, commercial and public buildings.

Local gardens and rooftop parks
It may be an urban business district, but residents aren’t sacrificing parks and open space to live here. Far from it. Yerba Buena Gardens is a great place to relax when it’s nice out.

For a unique urban outdoor experience, there’s Salesforce Park, a four-story high rooftop green space that stretches across four city blocks where visitors enjoy stunning views of the cityscape. It features an array of trails, lawns, bamboo groves and an amphitheater that holds up to 1,000 people.
