Inside San Francisco Real Estate

Stocks, bonds, and blue chips… yep, we’re in a banker’s mood today.  Chock full of skyscrapers, starched shirts, and pin-striped suits, the Financial District might not be for everyone, but you can’t argue with its location.  Close to the Embarcadero, the Ferry Building, North Beach, SOMA, Nob Hill and Chinatown, the location offers a lot to its dwellers.

Cable cars, trolleys, and ferries usher you around and getting a cab is a piece of cake (well, except for Friday afternoons).  Sewer steam pours from manhole covers and streets become narrow corridors lined with 50-story skyscrapers, giving it a miniature NYC feel (except the inhabitants are waaaay more laid back).  That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the top 5 priciest condos for sale in the Financial District.  Ready for the tour?  Let’s do this, and click on the address for more details about a particular property:
