This waterfront neighborhood, once a collection of dilapidated warehouses and abandoned piers, now exemplifies life in the new San Francisco. The product of a concerted makeover by the city, South Beach is now a thriving epicenter of upscale living where real estate commands top dollar and views stun. Replete with massive palm trees and luxury condominiums, South Beach has become a much sought after locale along the Embarcadero. AT&T Park and the San Francisco Giants call it home, while a host of high-end restaurants have followed suit, setting up shop here.
