The Village at Petrini Place

This place is awesome. I was scared at first. No, not about the mortgage. Well, ok the mortgage payment scared me into balancing a checkbook. I was scared that this was going to be the ‘burbs compared to my Mission dwelling. Not so. This place is great — it’s quiet, the residents are cool (with the exception of some rambunctious college kids in 1 unit), it’s as central to everything in the city as possible, the construction is fantastic, it’s safe for me and my car, and the building manager is A-#1!!! I swear, I’m voting Bruce in for Best Of The Bay! Oh, and I got a ton of loot in appreciation for diving in head first 3 years ago and eating lima beans and pickles for the first year. If you’re looking to buy and won’t F-​up my complex then look no further. Low rise means better loans and an association that cares means retained value.

On the street it’s so loud you have to shout. In the courtyard it’s so quiet you can hear the hummingbirds fly by in the summertime. Guess which place I prefer. When it’s raining you can get to Lucky without going outside. We have a gym. There’s a fireplace in the owners’ lounge. Wool carpet. Granite counter tops. Blonde wood. Brand spankin’ new building in the middle of the City. Can you tell I like it?

Listen, I live here, and its actually a really great place to live. Its almost brand new at just over three years since the redevelopment was completed. The interior design and floor plans economize the precious little space you are given, its secure and safe, the residents are friendly, its ideally located in the center of the City providing easy access to everything, the exterior architecture is aesthetic and detailed, and its a full service, mixed-​use facility that has all the conveniences and necessities of life internalized within the development. Sure, the units are expensive as f*ck, and their market value has skyrocketed over the past three years, but doesn’t that just prove that this is a highly desirable locale? Some of you will say that in this market, all boats are rising; however, if you go do the research, you will find that this boat has risen much faster and more dramatically than most of the others. I think its conclusive evidence. I love living here, and if you are in the market to buy a condo, take a look as there are always units coming available here.

Okay, so I miss Petrini’s. Used to go there as a little kid, get pushed around on the cart. One time it tipped over, food everywhere, and I was really upset and sad, maybe hurt, but we kids are malleable right? Regardless, this nice checkout lady gave me a snickers bar and told me not to worry about it. I’ve loved Snickers ever since.
Then they build these condo’s, the same ones infesting the city, and I should be upset, but instead of a snickers bar, Petrini (place) is now home to an incredible new friend. Must be a lucky spot.
