Known as the Baldwin Apartments, the building balances historic charm, modern amenities, and access to city staples from its ultra-accessible Lower Nob Hill location.With an easily recognizable blue and white color scheme and unique external accents, 1030-1042 Polk still manages to stand out over 100 years after its construction. An elevator and gated access are just some of the community amenities, while apartments offer hardwood floors, in-unit laundry, and more.1030-1042 Polk is extremely walkable, rideable, and bikeable - BART, Muni, and Van Ness tech shuttles are nearby for commuters and city explorers, with Downtown, the Financial District, Nob Hill, and Japantown in close proximity. Dog-friendly Lafayette Park means extensive green space is just a half mile away, and local favorites like The Saratoga, Bourbon & Branch, and Great American Music Hall represent some of the best food, drink, and entertainment in San Francisco.This unit is a rental unit subject to the San Francisco Rent Ordinance, which limits evictions without just cause, and which states that any waiver by a tenant of their rights under the Rent Ordinance is void as contrary to public policy.
