"Up and coming?"
What's not to love about SOMA? It's close enough to downtown and shopping that one will never feel as if they are out of touch with city life, while allowing for affordable living and a "gritty" neighborhood feel.
Gems like Brainwash Coffee shop and SOMA Inn Cafe near my neighborhood allow me to live the yuppy lifestyle while feeling like I'm still connected with the "hipster" lifestyle. Yes, the auto repair shop to population ratio is definitely skewed, properties are being revitalized at an incredible rate - yes, gentrification is coming!
Overall, living in SOMA provides a great, relatively affordable atmosphere for twenty-something professionals who wish to cut the commute to their downtown office jobs without sacrificing the "pulse" of the city (as can happen in other affordable neighborhoods such as the Sunset).
