Top neighborhoods in San Francisco
Pacific Heights
What it’s like to live in Pacific Heights
Spectacular views and mansion architecture define Pacific Heights, where San Francisco's most prestigious address showcases extraordinary wealth alongside occasional rental possibilities in divided larger homes and smaller apartment buildings on less prominent streets. The neighborhood's elevation provides breathtaking panoramas across San Francisco Bay toward both Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge, while the sophisticated shopping district along Fillmore Street offers upscale amenities without downtown congestion. Though commanding San Francisco's highest rental rates, Pacific Heights rewards residents with both architectural magnificence and exceptional positioning between both Presidio parklands and Union Street dining creating ideal urban balance rare across typically specialized San Francisco districts emphasizing either natural or commercial advantages rather than successfully integrating both environmental features.

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.
