Bringing student housing to the forefront of technology
By Mariya Nesheva
Latititude 38 Group is excited to announce that our new location – 250 Kearny will be opening later this summer.
This project was designed to create a very student friendly environment and ensure safe, comfortable and quality living for young people coming to the city for short or long term stays. The building has been completely renovated, with a large lobby, 24-hour front desk, common area social rooms, community kitchen and laundry facilities. The rooms have hard wood floors, modern furniture and private bathrooms.
Latitude 38 is also going one step further and addressing a need that has been known for some time – technology. Students are the heaviest users of the Internet, today they often live at home with a Laptop, I-pad, TV, I-phone and a PlayStation. According to a NAA Student Housing study, 41 percent of students typically have three or more devices simultaneously connected to the Internet in their apartments. It is a fact that, many students would move out or tell others not to move in a property because the Internet is not fast enough! Surprisingly, other student housing providers have neglected tech services and amenities so far.
In order to address this issue, the whole electrical system in 250 Kearny has been changed and the high bandwidth speed will support 3-4 devices in every room at the same time. All rooms are wired with cable Internet and there is there is a Wi-Fi network throughout the building.
Moreover, we are partnering with a company that will install a 40” monitor screen with a community board in the lobby. Students will be able to search for events, read useful information about the city and share their own original content.
Realizing that young people spend a large proportion of their time on the Internet, our team has been very engaged in social media and digital marketing. We keep in touch with our clients and student community through Facebook, Twitter and our blog.

Crêpelicious!!!
By Mariya Nesheva
Those of you that read our blog have probably noticed by now that all of us at Latitude 38 are food lovers.
Our latest discovery is Crêperie Saint-Germain - originating from French street food roots, this place offers fresh, healthy crêpes made to order at each of its locations. Savory or sweet, the crepes are not only irresistibly delicious but also very healthy – gluten free and made with organic ingredients.
The secret is using the classic French ingredient of buckwheat - a highly energizing and nutritious fruit seed that provides delicious taste while keeping the texture light and easily digestible.
Z (Zeynen) - the owner and the brainchild behind the business and the recipe, opened the first crêperie in 2009 and is now operating four city locations.
Thanks to Z, Latitude 38 clients can now enjoy a 15% off at Crêperie Saint-Germain Express at 2nd & Howard.
Grab a tasty crêpe and feel the extension of French culture and lifestyle in San Francisco!
PS: My favorite savory one is #10 and #21 with nutella, banana and strawberries is a sweet temptation one cannot resist!

I remember exactly 1 year before this picture was taken I just arrived to San Francisco for my Masters Degree at Hult Business School. I was completely new to the city and my first impression was not what I expected. I was struggling to find a place to live, the weather was not that good (I couldn’t even see the Golden Gate bridge because of the fog) and the “famous” tourist places were overcrowded and not as unique as I imagined…
And a year and a half later I am still here and I love it! I have done so many things and there is so much more to do that I don’t plan to leave this city for good any time soon.
After graduating, doing an internship in real estate and figuring out what to do I decided that I want to help students and young people who are new to the city.
The first thing that makes life easier of course is finding a safe, convenient and affordable place to live.
What my team and I are dedicated to right now is providing student and interim housing in the most exciting neighborhoods of San Francisco. We want to make it easy and simple for you by allowing you to book your room in advance, without paying huge deposits and going through application processes, and having everything set up from the first day – furniture, Internet, TV, etc. And what matters most: we give you a warm welcome and someone who has been where you are now and is ready to help you get the best experience of the city.
Below is a map where you can not only find our current locations but also see what is around them and get a better idea of the neighborhoods and things to do in San Francisco.
