Neighborhood renter concentration is high and amenity access is exceptional, supporting a deep tenant base, while occupancy in the neighborhood trends below national norms according to WDSuite’s CRE market data.
Rated A and ranked 28 out of 193 metro neighborhoods, this Urban Core location is top quartile among San Francisco–San Mateo–Redwood City neighborhoods, offering investors strong neighborhood fundamentals and daily needs access.
Amenity depth is a core strength: the neighborhood ranks 1 of 193 for grocery and restaurant density and sits in the 100th percentile nationally for amenities and parks. This concentration of food, retail, pharmacies, childcare, and open space supports leasing velocity and day-to-day convenience for residents.
Renter-occupied share is elevated (neighborhood tenure shows a high renter concentration), indicating a deep multifamily demand base. At the same time, neighborhood occupancy rates track below the national median, signaling that effective leasing, unit positioning, and competitive amenities remain important to sustain stability.
Within a 3-mile radius, demographics show a large professional cohort and high incomes alongside modest recent population softness; forecasts point to increasing household counts and smaller average household size, which typically expands the renter pool and can support absorption. Median home values in the neighborhood are elevated relative to national norms, a high-cost ownership context that tends to sustain reliance on multifamily housing and can support pricing power when units are well-positioned.
Vintage context: the property’s 2005 construction is newer than the neighborhood’s average vintage (1976). This positioning can improve competitive standing versus older stock, while investors should still plan for mid-cycle system updates and selective renovations to meet current renter expectations.
Safety trends warrant monitoring. The neighborhood’s crime ranking is toward the lower end of the metro (ranked 184 out of 193), indicating higher crime incidence relative to many San Francisco–San Mateo–Redwood City neighborhoods. Nationally, the area sits in low safety percentiles, so investors should underwrite to enhanced security measures and operational best practices.
Recent year-over-year data indicate improving directionality, with estimated violent and property offense rates trending down. While these improvements are constructive, a conservative approach to loss, insurance, and on-site security assumptions remains prudent until trend durability is clearer.
Proximity to major employers underpins workforce housing demand and commute convenience for residents. Nearby corporate offices include McKesson Ventures, McKesson, Pfizer, Wells Fargo, and Ameriprise Financial.

145 Taylor St sits in a top-quartile Urban Core neighborhood with exceptional amenity density and a high share of renter-occupied housing units, supporting a large tenant base for a 69-unit asset. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, neighborhood occupancy runs below national norms, so performance hinges on effective unit positioning, leasing execution, and amenity differentiation. The property’s 2005 vintage is newer than much of the surrounding stock, which can enhance competitiveness versus older buildings while still calling for targeted mid-cycle upgrades.
Within a 3-mile radius, forecasts point to growth in household counts and smaller household sizes, typically expanding the renter pool and supporting absorption. Elevated neighborhood home values relative to national levels contribute to a high-cost ownership market, which can reinforce renter reliance on multifamily housing and help sustain pricing power when affordability is managed. Safety trends are improving but remain a risk factor that should be reflected in operations and capital planning.
- Amenity-rich, top-quartile neighborhood among 193 metro peers supports leasing and retention
- High renter-occupied share indicates deep multifamily demand in the immediate area
