Dogpatch, San Francisco Overview

Left untouched as the rest of the city underwent rapid change, Dogpatch has gentrified to its own tune. Once an isolated urban blight of warehouses and factories, the biotech development in nearby Mission Bay has brought attention to this unique piece of San Francisco history. Its Victorian cottages, many of which date back to the 1860s, are some of the oldest in the city and garnered attention when the neighborhood was designated a historic district in 2003. Well-regarded restaurants are redefining Dogpatch as a haven for foodies, attracted to the farm to table aesthetic that typifies the culinary scene here. Live-work spaces house artists and other creative ventures along Third Street, its main commercial artery.
