Top neighborhoods in San Francisco

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.
