One of San Francisco's most vibrant and trendy neighborhoods, the Mission is also recognized as one of the most influential epicenters of Latino culture since the 1950's (particularly the intimate 24th Street Corridor). The neighborhood is filled with murals and a culinary legacy that is best known for the 1960's invention of the Mission-style burrito.
Homes here offer a visual richness as a result of a long gestation period—over two centuries of building, rebuilding and recycling. Residents here are can pick from a variety of home styles including: characteristic flat-roofed Victorians, stick-style houses, ornately gabled Queen Annes, Italianate or Mission Revival mixed-use (commercial-residential) apartment buildings, or stripped-down functional or deco-detailed industrial warehouses. Grander residential dwellings can be found along Dolores Street and Fair Oaks.
