OH MY FREAKIN' GOODNESS...it was beautiful. It was a corner unit and pretty much from every room you can see a great view of SOMA, the Bay Bridge, the ball park and down Mission street. We both just sat by the window drinking our wine just somewhat mesmerized by the view at night. It was awesome. As far as the interior was concerned, it was pretty spacious and super modern. In the master bedroom, there's a huge walk-in closet and spacious bathroom with a sunken tub. The second bedroom was slightly smaller but still big by sf standards. Did I mention all the rooms had a view? The kitchen had a large granite counter and stainless steel appliances. My friend doesn't cook much so unfortunately he won't be making much use of it....(hint hint..i can cook!) He got the place because it's just like living in a hotel with all the amenities (housekeeping, room service, concierge, gym, spa, etc..) but all of his stuff was there and he can do what he wanted with it. I asked him if I can live in his closet...

I've had a great experience here and feel so fortunate to have found Carillon Tower. Karina and…read morePedro are so responsive and helpful, and I've had zero issues with management at all. The views are fantastic and the balconies are surprisingly ample (often a crowd pleaser when I have people come over). Having a pool, hot tub, AND sauna in the building is awesome. I would give 5 stars except it can be a little tough with the heating situation and single-pane windows. Most of the year it's not a problem, and it isn't unique to this building, that's just something with older buildings in general. Easy access to downtown on the 38 and 38R, walking distance to Hayes Valley, Japantown/Fillmore, and Van Ness and Polk streets. Sports fields, tennis courts, and a park are a couple of blocks down the hill. Overall, I recommend living here.

Overall, I've had a good experience at Carillon Tower. Like much of San Francisco, there is a…read morevisible homeless situation nearby, but management is aware of it and does what they can within city limits. Pedro and Karina are responsive, present, and genuinely try to help keep the building safe and well maintained. My apartment was remodeled when I moved in, there was a leasing deal at the time, and parking was included with the unit, which was a big plus. The building is actively being improved -- they're currently painting the exterior, recently upgraded to new laundry machines with credit card readers, and installed a new intercom system. Maintenance requests are usually addressed within the week. It's an older building, but it's clear management is investing in upgrades and resident experience.

I can't speak to previous reviews but having lived in the city for over a decade and being in…read moredifferent neighborhoods and buildings I can say that this is a great place. The location is perfect if you want to be far enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough to go anywhere in the city. The weather is consistently sunny and you won't encounter the level of winds/noise such as in other parts of the city. The building itself is perhaps not as new as other offerings around this area or Mission Bay but the units are well maintained (they have a great and responsive crew), as well as spacious and you get more for your $$$ in my opinion. Of course there's always going to be opportunities for improvement (that goes honestly with every building I've lived in) and I can see that the management is doing their best to be the voice of the tenant. Parking is a big plus, proximity to freeway and gyms, as well as 15 minute walk to some awesome Potrero Hill restaurants/bars. There's quite a few good restaurants on the ground floor as well + a Starbucks. Management: I honestly am so impressed and content with the level of professionalism Stephen and Layla have shown in running this place. You can tell they truly care about the tenant's experience and all my interactions have been nothing but A+. They are responsive, caring, check in with you and there's great communication. All this is to say we're very happy with the choice we've made to rent here!

It's gone up over the years to a ridiculous amount and nothing has been improved. -Shower has no water pressure (I think it's a water-saver).

I moved into this apartment community in 2013 right after living in Greensboro, NC for a year…read more Initially, I thought the place was way too small, but I loved the layout, the roof deck, all the cool windows, and the radiant heat. Ok so I didn't think radiant heat was that big of a deal until it became one of my favorite features of the apartment. Can you imagine waking up and stepping on a warm floor? Mind-blowing! I also loved the fact that there's shopping near by and it's close to freeway access. I have a car so it was amazing to me that they have garage underground. A lot of other places I looked at while on my search didn't have that. Initially, it was a little scary that I would see homeless people around there, but I soon learned that they are even in the most luxurious places of San Francisco so I made my peace with it and moved on. In fact, my girlfriends and I would often walk at night to the local restaurants/bars and we never had any issues. I saw some of the reviews on here and didn't feel it was fair, but we are all entitled to our own opinion and I am sure each individual's experience is different. I never experienced any of that. I actually saw the security there on a lot of occasions. Never really had a bad experience with management. The maintenance guy Emmanuel is great! I moved out due to my growing family, but I actually miss the diversity of SOMA.

And, for the record, as of February 2010 I now own a home here & live here as well :) I am so excited to be a part of this great community and vibrant neighborhood. The building received LEED-certification with a silver rating, which is a huge achievement... the first residential high rise in SF to be this green :) This gives the community a unique twist, to say the least. The the main reasons I bring clients here & the main reason I also invested in this building/area, are that the units are a great value,the neighborhood has huge upside & the HOA dues are reasonable for the full-amenity package that you get. The amenities include a view roof deck with BBQ area; large full-on gym that is well-light, with bathrooms and excellent cardio equipment with TV screens; a full-time concierge; and 24/7 security. Best deal in town. The neighborhood is clean and safe & convenient to public transportation (CalTrain and MUNI's T line) and great freeway access as well. I'm a huge fan! I highly recommend investing in the building while the interest rates are still low and the $10K new construction tax credit is still available! By the way, Arterra has FHA approval--so now you can put as little as 10% down. Can't beat it!

Shopping is close by, Safeway and Wall greens 2 blocks away. and the AT&T Ball Park! it's freaking fantastic! you got a concierge 10am -7 pm M-F, with security 24/7. Did I mention this is the 1st and only green building in SF? There's a living roof, just like California Academy of Sciences, on the other building, there's a roof top view of the city, almost 360 degrees. most of the building is made of recycled or renewable material. Bamboo and cork flooring, Bamboo wall panels in the elevator, in the lobby there's crushed recycle glass tiles that make up the hall way. All appliances are energy efficient. Plus this is one of the few high rises with a Gas Stove! GAS STOVES! I can't believe it! I can't rave enough of this place. I moved in in Aug and I love it. All my neighbors love this place and I do to. I know i sound like i'm trying to sell this place.. but i'm really just bragging and making eveyrone jealous cuz i live here. haha.. j/k.. 5 stars all the way!

The hilltop/hillside provides a nice view of downtown, bridges and the bay (and protection to any major sea level rise). Also good that construction is built on solid ground, not fill like Mission Bay or Dogpatch area. HOA includes private shuttle to downtown. Less than 20 minutes to SFO. Can't wait for Chase Arena to be completed for Warriors games and concerts.

High winds at times, hopefully in the future the community can harness for renewal energy.

Living in the SF Shipyard: A Two-Year Resident's Perspective…read more For the past two years, I've called the SF Shipyard home. Nestled at the end of a peninsula, it was once a quiet, safe, and charming neighborhood with delightful views of the bay and a scenic path adorned with large sculptures. It felt like a hidden gem--peaceful, warm, and full of promise. But 2025 brought change. With three new apartment buildings opening, the influx of residents has shifted the dynamic. Crime has increased enough that discussions about hiring full-time security have begun--at an additional cost to our already high HOA dues. Parking, once manageable, has become a daily challenge. Being on a peninsula means overflow traffic has only one direction to go: up Kirkwood and Jerrold. Pros of Living in the SF Shipyard * Affordability (Relatively Speaking): Your dollar stretches 2.5-3x farther than elsewhere in SF. No more throwing money away on rent. * Warmer Climate: It's about 10 degrees warmer in summer. * Peace and Quiet: It's still one of the quietest neighborhoods in the city. * Scenic Views: Water views are a daily luxury. * Modern Living: Homes come with decent appliances, in-unit washer/dryer, air conditioning, and energy-efficient features. * Outdoor Spaces: India Basin Park and two other parks nearby offer green space. * Walkability to Unique Spots: Archimedes Banya is walkable, and Pier 70 & 80 events are nearly within reach. * Community Events: Frisco Fridays add a fun, local vibe. Cons of Living in the SF Shipyard * Odors: Occasionally, the sewage treatment plant makes its presence known. * Property Value: Don't expect significant appreciation, if any. * Mello-Roos Fees: The city doesn't seem to be fulfilling its obligations with these funds. * Hidden Costs: High HOA dues, move-in/out fees, and Mello-Roos -make it less affordable than it appears. * Limited Amenities: No nearby grocery stores--you'll need to go to Bernal, Potrero, or the Mission. * Restricted Access: Much of the surrounding open space is off-limits due to radiation or naval restrictions. * Safety Concerns: Little to no police presence. Drivers often speed, run red lights, and ignore stop signs. SFPD rarely enforces traffic laws here. * Car Dependency: You need a car, and parking is a major issue. Without a designated spot, you must be home by 5-5:30pm to find parking. Going out at night risks losing your spot. Guests struggle to find parking at any time. Public transportation at night feels unsafe. * Madison Building Issues: Electrical issues are widespread--13 owners had to band together to get the developer to act. (Personally, I'm on my fourth set of breakers and second HVAC compressor.) The EST3 alarm goes off almost every weekend and can blare for 48-72 hours if it happens outside business hours. Hosting a party in the Pavilion costs over $200, on top of $700+/mo HOA dues. Final Thoughts I moved here for the peace, the views, and the modern amenities. I wanted to stop renting and avoid being house poor. But with the current growing pains, I can't recommend moving to the SF Shipyard--especially not to the Madison building.
