Downtown / Castro Street

What defines the area

Restaurant and retail corridor near the Caltrain station.

Walk the blocks around your preferred home and visit during a weekday and weekend. Pay attention to transit access, grocery runs, traffic patterns, parks and the character of adjacent streets.

What buyers should investigate

Compare noise, parking, mixed-use development and condo dues.

Also review the seller disclosures, permit records, inspection findings, property tax estimate and insurance quote for the specific address. Neighborhood character does not replace property-level due diligence.
