HGTV's "Selling New York" Teaches Importance of Tailoring Real Estate Marketing to Your Target Buyer
I have returned to San Francisco, California every year since that first time, and with each visit always discovered something new. The city is full of diversity, a truly global place where the ethnic eateries are still run by immigrants. Every nation is represented in San Francisco, for it has become a second home to millions, and the food is just one testament to that. The neighborhoods are equally diverse, from the Mission with its' elaborate murals, to Haight-Ashbury, adjacent to Golden Gate Park and full of 1960's clich??s. The city is only 46.7 square miles, but it's packed full of houses and pockets of stores and restaurants. The steep rolling hills are everywhere, enabling panoramic views by simply driving on typical roads. The houses range from bright pink next to baby blue, to the more affluent neighborhood of my best friend's childhood home, fully equipped with a yard and three nearby parks. Either would be ideal for my second home.
What is more is that public transportation can take you anywhere, even as far as Berkley or San Jose, California, where the sunshine is a little more consistent. San Francisco is the ideal city to purchase a home because it has something for everyone, while maintaining the laid back vibe California is famous for. It is an expensive city, but the standard of living is among the highest in the country. On the flipside, escaping to China (in the form of America's largest Chinatown) or for a night to El Salvador, has never been easier. San Francisco is a great city to visit, but it's an even better city to own a home in. There is a pulse to this city unlike anywhere else, and a second home is an investment that will pay off for generations to come. Although I may have loved the city before I came, it is a love that has not wavered to this day.
