For people who needs more info about affordable housings in S.F., go to
. Crescent Cove is just one of the affordable housings. You can also buy a affordable housing if you qualify. Remember, your income cannot be too low either. This is affordable housing not a charity. And they DO check your record and income very tight. They count your bonuses also as income.

I’m very lucky and grateful to live in this ‘new’ development since October, 2007 and it’s a great opportunity for people of all incomes who are eligible for the many various housing opportunities here. It’s managed, maybe even owned by The Related Companies, a National Property Management company, and they do a very good job in most ways. My chief complaint, and I don’t even know if a solution is possible, is the disrespect some tenants how for these brand new and beautiful units.
Like all areas of San Francisco, parking is scarce and expensive, and Crescent Cove consists of approximately 275 apartment units and perhaps 175 outdoor parking spaces in a new neighborhood that has almost NO street parking within walking distance. Strange as it may seem, the majority of my fellow subsidized tenants seem to have more than one car so the parking situation is always stressful.
The whole complex is beautifully landscaped and maintained, featuring such great amenities as a gym with a large flat screen to use while working out, a business center for tenants with three new computers and a printer, a game area with shuffleboard, ping pong and a couple other games, and an amazing community room with a complete modern kitchen, fireplace, fine furniture, a large flat screen and a beautiful gas barbecue. There are lawns, palm tree’s, flowering plants and many tree’s of all shapes and sizes and a gardening company is here regularly to maintain all the garden areas. There is even a vegetable garden that tenants can use to grow their own fresh produce.
The neighborhood is Mission Bay and is brand new and growing very fast but a community is developing that is vibrant, diverse and filled with all the services and facilities every neighborhood requires to be successful. There is a new library, dog park, kayak rental facility, basketball and tennis courts, hiking trails and a new Safeway is within two blocks along with dozens of restaurants, coffee joints, cleaners, health facilities, the World Champion San Francisco Giant’s as well as a new hospital being built by UCSF and plenty of research and development in medical and technology markets. A really great place to live with wonderful management and a staff that can be seen taking care of the whole complex every day of the week.

It’s been about a year and a half since I’ve lived at Crescent Cove. When I was laid off from my prior job I had to find other residential stays. I’ve landed lately in North Beach at a residential hotel.
But now I’m moving back to Crescent Cove. A studio 10 feet smaller than my previous unit, but still it will be my own place again. I miss cooking, the gym in the complex, certain neighbors and the staff at Crescent Cove.
My move in date is Thursday January 6^th, 2011. I’m so happy that I will return. And I have some friends that moved in while I was residing their previous. :-}
