[quote=AN]1st one is bleh. 2nd one is better but definitely not walkable to food and entertainment. 3rd one is better but again, SOMA << Marina. I can't find the size of the SOMA property. Not the mention the view in the SOMA property is bleh compare to the Marina properties....[/quote]
SOMA is convenient, but more than half comm'l. And it is too low to have any views. There are many reasonable areas in SF to live but some are more walkable to stores, delis, restaurants and public transportation than others.
If you have the good fortune to have a your own well-located bldg or reasonable rental flat in SF, esp with your own garage to park in, it wouldn't matter as much its proximity (or lack thereof) public transportation. Your life would be grand and it likely wouldn't be worth it for a well-paid SF worker to ever move away from that situation :=]
Believe it or not, a LOT of SF retirees live in the smallest unit on the bottom floor of their own buildings (which shares its square footage with garages) and rent out their 2-3 (view) flats above *reasonably* for a fantastic retirement income! And they're on the premises if needed!
