SoMa as described on the SFResidence neighborhood guide:

“SOMA (South of Market) is a huge district, sprawling from the Embarcadero to Eleventh Street, between Market and Townsend. The neighborhood is a patchwork of warehouses, swanky nightspots, residential hotels, art spaces, loft apartments, furniture showrooms and the tenacious Internet companies that survived the tech market collapse. Although a lot of building has gone on in recent years, it is still not densely developed. You can walk several desolate blocks before suddenly finding a hopping restaurant.”

SFGate says, “This former industrial zone is in a cultural renaissance, with museums, galleries and multimedia companies reviving the area. ” Read more here.
