Alamo Square

San Francisco : Alamo Square

The demographics of the neighborhood are characteristic of other urban neighborhoods that have undergone gentrification: many young people and upper-middle-class homeowners, in addition to a diverse older population. Divisadero Street, which divides Alamo Square from North Panhandle, is home to a number of small businesses including a growing collection of hip and popular restaurants and bars. Efforts on the part of Alamo Square and North Panhandle residents and merchants have led to restrictions on chain stores on the corridor. Relics of a less-prosperous recent history also remain on Divisadero, including a number of vacant storefronts (notably the Harding Theater, closed for many years but valued by its neighbors for its potential) and one of the city's few clusters of gas stations.
A number of movies, television shows and commercials have been filmed in or around Alamo Square[1]. The opening sequence of the American sitcom Full House (1987–1995) features a romp in Alamo Square Park with the famous row of Victorians in the background.
Neighborhood groups include the Alamo Square Neighborhood Association and the Haight-Divisadero Neighborhood Merchants Association
