Top neighborhoods in San Francisco

South Of Market
South Of Market
What it’s like to live in South Of Market
Urban transformation defines San Francisco's South of Market (SoMa) district, where former warehouses and industrial buildings now house innovative startups alongside luxury loft apartments. The neighborhood surrounds both Oracle Park and the Yerba Buena cultural district, offering sports entertainment and artistic programming within walking distance of most rentals. Though noise considerations exist from both highway proximity and vibrant nightlife in certain sections, the district's large blocks and wide streets create surprisingly open feeling compared to San Francisco's densely developed residential neighborhoods. The area's excellent public transportation includes multiple Muni and BART connections to broader city and regional destinations without vehicle requirements. The primary consideration remains significant unhoused population concentrations in certain sections, creating urban challenges requiring awareness when considering specific blocks within this diverse and developing district.

What it’s like to live in Tenderloin
Budget-conscious renters find rare San Francisco value in Tenderloin, where SROs and studio apartments offer downtown location at significantly lower costs than surrounding neighborhoods. The area's exceptional walkability (score 99) and transit access (score 100) create truly car-free living possibilities, eliminating vehicle expenses in an already expensive city. Many buildings offer rent-controlled units with occupancy-based increases rather than market adjustments—creating long-term stability increasingly unusual in the volatile San Francisco market. Though street conditions require urban awareness, the central location provides walking access to both tech industry employment and cultural institutions, eliminating commute time and expense while maximizing the San Francisco experience despite budget constraints.

What it’s like to live in Mission Bay
High-rise modernity defines Mission Bay, where this newer San Francisco district offers contemporary apartments with amenities rarely found in the city's older neighborhoods. The waterfront area continues developing around the Chase Center arena with new restaurants and shops opening regularly. Residents enjoy exceptional public transportation through nearby Muni and Caltrain connections, though the area lacks the historic character found in other San Francisco neighborhoods and rental rates reflect the premium new construction.
