San Francisco Relocation Guide - Antevia

In either case, it's well served by Muni metro, streetcars and buses. Sheltered from the
fogs by Buena Vista and Twin Peaks to the West and Alamo Square to the North, the area
is one of the sunnier districts in San Francisco.
Duboce Park and several smaller "pocket" parks provide attractive public green spaces,
but the Duboce Triangle is most notable for its lushly landscaped sidewalks and wellmaintained
Victorian flats and apartment buildings. These are the direct result of San
Francisco's rejection of the wholescale demolition of Victorians and their replacement
with slablike public housing that marred the Western Addition in the 1960s. The city
used the federal government's slum clearance dollars to renovate the mostly-19th Century
housing stock instead, and also to plant street trees, bury utility wires underground, and to
widen sidewalks and narrow streets. With its now-mature trees and rejuvenated homes,
the Duboce Triangle's distinctly residential and yet urbane feel is more remarkable given
its proximity to busy Market Street, the city's main thoroughfare.
The official Duboce Triangle Neighborhood Association map excludes the point of the
triangle at Market and Waller. This area is sometimes known as Mint Hill, after the
United States Mint, an imposing building on a steep rocky cliff overlooking the
intersection of Market and Duboce streets. However, most of the homes in this area are
similar in character of the rest of Duboce Triangle.
Demographics
In 2000, about 40% of likely voters in Duboce/Reverse Triangle identified as "gay,
bisexual, or other", compared to 11% city-wide.
