The homes just north of California Street in the Richmond District have always been a desirable address for city dwellers with their larger lots and closeness to San Francisco's famed Presidio.  Most homeowners also enjoy the short distance to the shops and restaurants that line nearby Clement Street as well as the easy access to Golden Gate Park as well as the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County.

The Lake Street Corridor is roughly bounded by 25th Avenue to the west, the Presidio to the north, Arguello Boulevard to the east and California Street to the south.
