Welcome to Marina District
The north waterfront Marina District neighborhood began developing in the early part of the 20th century and had become one of the most desirable places to live and visit. In 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake rocked the city and some of the Marina buildings were destroyed. Within ten years, the area was revamped and is ever-popular. One can stroll the flat block and enjoy the large homes facing the Palace of Fine Arts and those fronting the Bay. There are many smaller condominium buildings and some rentals. the heart of the neighborhood is Chestnut Street, generally attracting a younger crowd but there are many dining options. One has easy access to Chrissy Filed and Fort Mason.
The Marina District is roughly bounded by Lyon Street to the west, Marina Boulevard to the north, Van Ness Avenue to the east, and Lombard Street to the south.
