The district centers around San Pedro Square Market's food hall and the SAP Center hosting both Sharks games and major concerts, creating walkable entertainment unusual in typically car-dependent South Bay communities. Though weekend activity remains developing compared to San Francisco, the growing tech presence continues adding amenities and nightlife options beyond traditional business hours. The neighborhood's excellent public transportation includes multiple light rail lines and the central Diridon Station creating car-optional living increasingly valued by environmentally-conscious tech professionals.
