San Francisco Bay Area, CA

# Appliance installation in San Francisco.

10 cities and neighborhoods across San Francisco, part of San Francisco Bay Area — 6 with a page on what that place does to an appliance.

## What San Francisco does to an appliance.

Where appliances sit in San Francisco: tight openings and walk-ups, older housing stock, cutouts and panel-ready fits.

### Tight openings and walk-ups

Walk-up apartments and narrow halls often choose the model before the kitchen does, so a 24-inch or counter-depth unit is picked to make the turn at the landing, and its doors or handles come off for the carry and go back on in place.

### Older housing stock

Historic districts often review changes to a house's outside walls, so a new hood cap or laundry vent may need approval before a hole is cut, and an installation there tries the existing openings first.

### Cutouts and panel-ready fits

A specified kitchen is drawn around exact cutouts, and an installation there compares each opening against the spec sheet of the model actually delivered, since a late change of make can leave a gap or an opening too tight by a fraction of an inch.

### Marina

Marina buildings from the 1920s and 1930s were not drawn for today's appliances, and fitting one there often means a counter-depth or 24-inch unit through a narrow entry, with the building's rules on laundry machines read before a pair is bought.

### Noe Valley

In many Noe Valley flats the laundry stands in the garage at street level while the kitchen sits one or two flights up, and an installation there checks both ends: the garage's water, drain and exhaust for a new pair, and the stairs a new cold storage unit has to climb to reach the kitchen.

### Pacific Heights

Pacific Heights houses climb steep lots from the street, and a new appliance often reaches the kitchen up a long run of front steps and a narrow Victorian hall, so the delivery path is measured door by door and the old unit is planned out the same way before anything is ordered.

### Presidio Heights

Presidio Heights sits between the Presidio parklands and the Laurel Heights neighborhood, and its name predates the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

### Russian Hill

Many of Russian Hill's streets, including portions of Vallejo and Green Streets, are staircases rather than roads because of the hill's steepness.

### Sea Cliff

Sea Cliff is one of nine master-planned residence parks in San Francisco, laid out under a single master plan by landscape architect Mark Daniels.

Also covered in San Francisco

- **Bernal Heights** Bernal Heights hill carries a microwave transmission tower at its summit, and San Francisco's Sutro Tower is also visible from the neighborhood below.
- **Cole Valley** Cole Valley is the smallest neighborhood in San Francisco, with its commercial strip condensed into just three blocks along Cole and Carl Streets.
- **St. Francis Wood** St. Francis Wood has no visible businesses at all, keeping a low profile compared with similarly wealthy San Francisco neighborhoods such as the Marina District and Pacific Heights.
- **West Portal** The ride on Muni's subway from West Portal Station to Castro Station takes about seven minutes, and the K Ingleside and M Ocean View lines continue south along West Portal Avenue.
