San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 14, 2011

Paige Gienger, a San Francisco real estate agent for Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, has recently come across a gem of a neighborhood in San Francisco. This well-kept secret is the Merced Heights neighborhood and it is built on the hillside in the southwest corner of San Francisco, tucked to the north of Ingleside Heights and south of Ingleside Terrace. At an elevation of 500 feet, the Shields Orizaba Rocky Outcrop caps the summit of Merced Heights and is a great location to watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean.

“What is special about Merced Heights? Numerous obvious and unknown attributes,” says Gienger. “Comprised of single family homes with backyards and many with ocean views, the homeowners in Merced Heights have a true pride in ownership and this is evident with a high homeownership rate and historically low home turnover rates.”

The neighborhood has the feeling of being in suburbia, but has easy access into the heart of the city. It is bordered by Junipero Serra Boulevard on the west, Holloway Avenue on the north, Ashton on the east, and Shields Street to the south.

Following the Ingleside Terrace’s design, to specifically not have a commercial business district, the cafes and shopping abounds on nearby Ocean Avenue, with a new Whole Foods currently under construction. The neighborhood is close to Stonestown Shopping Center and West Portal shops, restaurants and theater. A San Francisco public library is located on Ocean Avenue, and there are several public parks; Lakeview Ashton Mini Park, Brooks Park is at the end of Arch Street, and Merced Heights Playground located on Byxbee Street.

The community is awash in bicycle riders, dog walkers, runners and folks just taking a stroll. It has a one acre community garden, a designated Tai Chi recreation area, the San Francisco Zoo within a short drive, and several beaches close by.

The climate is a mix of fog and sun and tends to be several degrees warmer than the Sunset and Richmond Districts. Transportation abounds with 280 Interstate and 19th Avenue arteries, allowing for easy access to Muni trains and Balboa and Daly City BART stations.

Gienger is listing a home at 560 Arch Street at Holloway Avenue in Merced Heights. The San Francisco home is on the market for the first time since the 1960s and features gorgeous period details, exotic wood built-ins and moldings and hardwood floors. The main level features two bedrooms and one bathroom. An additional bonus bedroom and bathroom are situated on the lower level of the home. The living room is adorned with a fireplace, vintage tile surround and flanked with bookshelves for cozy feel. The kitchen has an eat-in area and newer stainless steel gas oven and range. The home also includes a one-car garage and spacious fenced yard.

The distinguished estate planning lawyer will ride his bicycle from San Francisco to Los Angeles in order to raise HIV/AIDS awareness and funding.

San Francisco, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 18, 2011

This June, approximately 2,500 bicycle riders of all ages and abilities will ride their bicycles from San Francisco to Los Angeles in the 10th annual AIDS/LifeCycle ride to raise awareness and funds for HIV/AIDS. San Francisco Bay Area estate planning / real estate lawyer Thomas Huster will participate in the ride and raise a minimum of $3,000 for the cause.

This is the second year that Huster has participated in the event after raising $10,000 in 2009. He hopes to top that amount this year. Like many who lived in San Francisco during the 1980’s, Huster lost a number of close friends to the emerging AIDS/HIV pandemic. For Huster, riding his bicycle from San Francisco to Los Angeles is not a matter of fun but of principle.

“For me the ride is extremely difficult physically and not a lot of fun,” said Huster. “But, I look at this as a way to contribute something to this cause in memory of my close friends who didn’t survive the 80’s. It gives me a way to approach folks and ask for their support for this incredibly worthy cause. I admit to a feeling of satisfaction at the conclusion and hope to top my 2009 fundraising amount.”

Having represented numerous clients in all areas of trusts, probate, real estate, business law, and estate planning in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Law Office of Thomas Huster analyzes issues, gets to the point, and reaches creative solutions to problems that seem insurmountable. Huster established his solo, private practice in San Francisco in 1978 after experience in both a major law firm on Wall Street and a large San Francisco firm.

For more information about Huster’s participation in AIDS/Life Cycle or any of his services, call the law office at (415) 675-8071 or view them on the web at http://www.husterlawsf.com.
