Living in Dogpatch

Dogpatch sits on San Francisco’s sunny eastern waterfront, part of the historic Central Waterfront just south of Mission Bay and below Potrero Hill. One of the city’s oldest neighborhoods — much of it survived the 1906 earthquake and fire — it grew up around the shipyards and ironworks of Pier 70, and today its preserved workers’ cottages, brick warehouses, and new lofts and condos give it a distinctive industrial-chic character that’s become one of SF’s most sought-after.

The neighborhood’s spine is Third Street, lined with breweries, wine bars, cafés, and restaurants, with the T-Third Muni Metro running right down the middle. Add the new Crane Cove Park on the bay, the gallery hub of the Minnesota Street Project, and quick access to downtown, the freeways, and Caltrain, and Dogpatch offers a rare combination of history, creativity, sunshine, and waterfront.

Dogpatch is a distinctive market of converted lofts, new condos, and historic cottages, so values vary widely by building and era. A tailored read matters here. The Primavera team sells across Dogpatch and San Francisco’s east side.
