501 Arguello Blvd APT 202, San Francisco, CA 94118

San Francisco
THE HOME

501 Arguello Boulevard rises where the Presidio's cypress-edged greenbelt meets the orderly blocks of Laurel Heights. Apartment 202 sits in a well-maintained building along one of the neighborhood's most generous streets, where wide sidewalks and parkway trees frame views west toward the park and north toward the bay. The address places residents at the threshold of Golden Gate Park and the Presidio—two of the city's most substantial landscapes—while maintaining immediate access to the corridor's cafés, grocers, and transit lines. The building occupies a site that balances residential quiet with the convenience of nearby Clement Street and Geary Boulevard.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

This stretch of Arguello anchors a neighborhood defined by walkability and green space. With a Walk Score of 96, daily errands unfold on foot: Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Safeway lie within a few blocks, alongside Velo Rouge Cafe, Cinderella Bakery, and a selection of neighborhood restaurants. The Panhandle and Golden Gate Park frame the district to the south; the Presidio's trails and woodlands open to the north. Downtown San Francisco sits 16 minutes by car or 24 minutes by transit, while San Francisco International Airport is 29 minutes away by car. The commute profile reflects the area's central position within the city's western corridor.

  • Arguello Boulevard functions as a north–south spine connecting the Richmond, the Presidio, and points beyond; its width and transit service make car ownership optional rather than essential.

Walk Score®
Walker's Paradise

Walk Score® rates an address from 0–100 by how easily everyday errands — groceries, coffee, dining, school pickup — can be done on foot. 50+ means some errands can be walked, 70+ means most can, and 90+ is a rare walker's paradise. Transit and Bike scores read the same way for public transportation and cycling.
