This great position has made it a popular home who want to have the convenience of San Francisco without the high prices and bad traffic. The city accumulates tons of hip restaurants, outdoor sports, and (of course) lots of shops, including the big box stores that aren't welcome in San Francisco. San Francisco's loss is Daly's gain, as the big box stores has made it a shopping mecca for the area.Having trouble with Craigslist Daly City?

Because of its location in beautiful California, it shouldn't be surprising that Daly City residents spend a lot of time outdoors at the beach, playing sports, and enjoying the nightlife. Thornton State Beach is popular with residents and tourists for walking dogs, flying model planes, hang gliding, swimming, and just lounging in the sun. There are about five other beaches that, while smaller, are almost as nice. The city supports over 259 sports leagues and groups, including baseball, soccer, swimming, gymnastics, running.... let’s just say if you want to play something, you'll have no trouble finding companions.There are tons of concerts, restaurants, clubs, and fun stuff to do in every neighborhood.
