San Francisco: Homes in Theater District for $499K or Less

Every time I visit a big city, I like to spend a week doing nothing more than going to a live theater performance every night, with sightseeing and a fancy dinner wrapped around it.

For $499,000 in San Francisco that can be done by buying a home within walking distance of its theater district, allowing you a place to stay after a night on the town. Here are three homes for sale for $499,000 or less in different neighborhoods. But all are within a walk or a cable-car ride to Union Square and its nearby theaters and restaurants. With the hilly terrain of Nob Hill, you may want to take a cable car or taxi back home after the show.
