Coverage

Every district in the city, plus the neighbors.

The van sits on Divisadero, on the line between the fog and the sun, so most of the city is about 18 minutes away. Over the county line runs longer, and each area page says by how much.

San Francisco districts

Inside the city

Nob Hill, Downtown & the Tenderloin

~14 min

Apartment lobbies on the hill, hotels and office suites below it, single-room buildings and corner stores through the Tenderloin, and the block of Market where all of it meets. Fourteen minutes from Divisadero, the shortest run the van makes.

Local page

Marina, Cow Hollow & Pacific Heights

~15 min

Edwardian and 1920s flats between Lombard and the crest of the hill, garages at street level through the Marina, shops along Union, Chestnut and Fillmore. Fifteen minutes from Divisadero, and the only part of the north side that takes salt off the water rather than the ocean.

Local page

The Mission & the Haight

~16 min

Victorian flats behind iron gates along Valencia, Guerrero, 24th and the streets off Haight, corner stores with roll-down grilles on nearly every block, and the warmest, driest air in the city. Sixteen minutes from Divisadero.

Local page

Noe Valley, the Castro & Bernal Heights

~17 min

Victorians and Edwardians on the sunny slopes, front stairs up to the parlour floor, garages tucked under the bay windows, and shops along 24th, Castro and Cortland. Seventeen minutes from Divisadero.

Local page

The Richmond

~18 min

Rowhouses from the thirties and forties between the Presidio and Golden Gate Park, garages under the living floors and opening straight onto the street, and the shops and grilles of Clement and Geary. Eighteen minutes from Divisadero, and firmly in the fog belt.

Local page

SoMa & Mission Bay

~19 min

Live-work lofts in converted warehouses, roll-up gates on small units, new towers running on fobs, and the offices and studios between Bryant, Townsend and the ballpark. Nineteen minutes from Divisadero.

Local page

The Sunset

~21 min

Thirties and forties rowhouses running from Twin Peaks down to Ocean Beach, garages under the living floor on almost every one, shops along Irving, Judah, Noriega and Taraval. Twenty-one minutes from Divisadero, and the heart of the fog belt.

Local page

Bayview, the Excelsior & the Portola

~24 min

The south of the city: houses with tunnel entrances and garages at street level, driveway gates on the wider lots, small industrial units and yards toward the water, and the shop roll-ups along Third Street and Mission. Twenty-four minutes from Divisadero, the longest run inside the city.

Open 24 hours, 7 days

Say what the key is doing, hear the figure, get back inside

San Francisco plus Daly City, Colma, Brisbane, South San Francisco and Pacifica, 24 hours, holidays included. Stiff, halfway, snapped, or a healthy lock on the wrong side of a closed door: one number comes back with the $89 visit and the hour of the night already inside it, and it is the number on the receipt.
