Top neighborhoods in San Francisco

Pacific Heights
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.

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 Potrero Hill
Sun-drenched in a city famous for fog, Potrero Hill offers that rare San Francisco combination – great weather and parking that doesn't require therapy sessions. The neighborhood's hillside location creates spectacular downtown views from many apartments, particularly those on the north and west slopes. Unlike much of SF, Potrero maintains a surprisingly residential feel, with actual trees and sidewalks wide enough for comfortable walking. The 22nd Street Caltrain station provides South Bay commuting without downtown transfer hassles. Many buildings feature unexpectedly spacious floor plans compared to Victorian subdivisions elsewhere in the city, with some industrial conversions offering soaring ceilings and oversized windows flooding rooms with natural light. When seeking neighborhood essentials, 18th Street provides just enough restaurants and shops without becoming a tourist destination.
