403 Main St #801N San Francisco Ca, 94105
403 Main Street sits at the eastern edge of San Francisco's South of Market district, where the street grid yields to waterfront views and the rhythms of urban density soften slightly. Unit 801N occupies an elevated position in a contemporary residential tower, part of the corridor that has redefined this former industrial quarter over the past two decades. The address places residents within a twelve-minute drive of Downtown San Francisco and eighteen minutes from San Francisco International Airport. The building anchors a stretch of Main Street that connects Yerba Buena Gardens to the Embarcadero, a location that balances workspace proximity with access to open space and the bay.
The blocks surrounding 403 Main Street reflect the evolution of South of Market from warehouse district to mixed-use neighborhood. Within walking distance: Whole Foods Market and Woodlands Market for daily provisions, Yerba Buena Gardens and Embarcadero Plaza for green space, and a dining corridor that includes Boulevard, Perbacco, and Wayfare Tavern. The Walk Score of 88 indicates most errands can be accomplished on foot. Philz Coffee and Imperial Tea Court serve the morning commute; China Basin Park and Transamerica Redwood Park offer midday respite. The location sits between the Financial District and Mission Bay, with direct access to both the Embarcadero waterfront and the cultural institutions clustered around Yerba Buena.

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.

As a longtime resident of Los Altos Hills, I have had the privilege of raising my children and watching them grow through Palo Alto public schools, and later at Woodside Priorya private school in Portola Valley. Our family has loved the peaceful and calmness of the hills, the hiking trails, and its close proximity to Silicon Valley and San Francisco.
Through the years, I’ve navigated our community extensively, driving my kids to activities across neighboring towns for various activities which has given me extensive knowledge and familiarity in Atherton, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Portola Valley and Los Altos and beyond. This experience has given me an intimate knowledge of the area and a deep appreciation for the vibrant lifestyle it offers.
Some of my favorite local spots include Los Altos Grill or Evvia for a night out, Satura or Mademoiselle Colette for a morning coffee and croissant, and Terun for a lunch meet up. For fitness, I love the small, intense classes at barre3 or MPX Pilates, and for outdoor relaxation, I enjoy a quick hike at Arastradero Preserve. When it comes to self-care, No Filter Brazilian MedSpa in San Mateo is a personal favorite.
