Surprisingly or not! Expect pagoda-style architecture, ornate lamp posts, exotic menus, and an endless supply of fresh fish and cheap produce. These 24 blocks are the most densely populated neighborhood west of NYC, which is crazy to imagine! Kitschy gift shops! Asian-style day spas! Unlike Chinatown, Japantown is a lot more peaceful, much more quiet, and feels pretty secluded.
Japantown is technically only 6 blocks long, so you can really see a lot in a short amount of time. Right over here is the Embarcadero, another of these neighborhoods of SF, which is where the famous Ferry Building is. Close your eyes and think of tidy rows of Victorian and Eduardian homes. A quaint main street with artisanal goods and tons of cute outdoor cafes.
Lots of laid-back clean-cut families pushing strollers and walking dogs. One of my favorite SF neighborhoods for sure! It feels like an intimate, small town despite being pretty central in SF.
Wanna do some boutique shopping and eat at some of the best restaurants in the city? Head on over to Hayes Valley! You can always hang at the park in the central area and people watch until your name gets called. Not many people know this, but Hayes Valley has really changed a lot over the years. What was once a seedy area with crack houses, crime, and prostitution has turned into an area with trendy fashion boutiques, top-notch restaurants, and brightly-lit boutiques.
Making it one of the coolest and revitalized neighborhoods in San Francisco. Yup, the famously crooked Lombard Street one of the most famous tourist attractions in the entire city is right over here. Watch the iconic San Francisco cable cars on the neighborhood hills, walk around the scenic streets, and admire all the charming Victorian architecture.
But beware for all the steep streets — Russian hill is one of the hilliest San Francisco neighborhoods. Quite the opposite. We love wandering around the Marina checking out the gorgeous yachts at the harbor, going for a stroll around the romantic Palace of Fine Arts, and chilling at Marina Green with a cup of Philz in hand.
With some girlfriends? Potrero Hill. Presidio Heights. Good for. Free Entry. Good for Kids. Good for Couples. Good for Big Groups. Honeymoon spot. Good for a Rainy Day. Good for Adrenaline Seekers. Hidden Gems. Show more. Clear all filters.

This neighborhood is an amalgamation of unique shops , cafes, and businesses that reflect the diverse nature of San Fr By gordc The colourful neighborhood and many shops, eateries make this area one of the best in San Francisco.
By vickid. Stay in the Marina where you belong. Who lives here: Young professionals, though Hayes Valley remains diverse, despite gentrification efforts. Boxing Room serves up delicious Southern cuisine, including fried alligator, and Suppenkuche has authentic German fare and boots of beer.
Quote from a resident: "Hayes Valley is a great spot for restaurants and boutique shops there are no chain stores allowed. Condos keep rising which is great for density and the retail businesses that go in like Monsiuer Benjamin, for example.
Downside is the prices are insane. There are still a lot of homeless people who are mainly harmless, but occasionally there are some ranting lunatics or I have to grab my 2-year-old to keep him from stepping in human poo. Places like the Jazz Center and the Nourse Theater offer incredible entertainment and at times basically when shows let out hundreds of patrons come streaming out to look for food and drinks. Steins is fun for grabbing a beer and German food and the Buckshot has skee-ball, which is all you need to know about that.
Being surrounded by a wide variety of affordable, tasty ethnic eateries and fun bars on Clement St plus having Golden Gate Park, Lake St for running and biking , the Presidio and its golf course all a short distance away makes the Inner Richmond one of the more underrated places to live in the city.
People either love the Inner Sunset or they hate it. There are also lots of cafes and diners, and plenty of bars. Public transit situation: The N-Judah. Learn it. Love it. Quote from a resident: "The Inner Sunset is a great place to live -- you have Golden Gate Park just blocks away, as well as many fine bars and restaurants.
Just don't be surprised if your friends assume you've moved to a fog-covered land far, far away when in fact it's just a few minutes. Public transit situation: The 7-Haight runs right down Haight St, but bikes are popular since The Wiggle is right there.
Thank you realtors for yet another neighborhood that used to be called something totally different 20 years ago. I like it a lot, but being so close to a Kiehl's has been a challenge. The Marina has a terrible reputation that anyone who lives there would argue is totally undeserved. I guess that means they hate the idea of living right next to Crissy Field, having some of the best restaurants in the city, and being surrounded by people who are fit and attractive.
Taquerias are right next to trendy new spots, dive bars next to places that take 10 minutes to make craft cocktails. If you're young and are moving to the city, it's either here or the Marina, and the two are becoming less and less dissimilar.
It's always awake, loud, and has a bar open which is fun when you're young. It's always awake, loud, and has a bar open which is exhausting when you're old.
It's a great 'SF Starter Kit' place to live. Public transit situation: You could take the California St cable car, or you could not do that and instead take the 1-California or the Bryant. I mean, I guess I have tourists yelling outside my apartment every day, but their excitement for my little charming-as-fuck neighborhood is contagious. And this place really does feel magical -- like living in a postcard.
After five years, watching the wild parrots fly across the most gorgeous views in all the city every twilight still takes my breath away. Of course, that could also have something to do with the massive hill I likely just struggled up, too. It's easy to hate on the sheer volume of strollers, but all of the cute dogs and, to be honest, kids make up for it. It's pretty quiet, though, and if you're looking for anything to do after 9pm, you are out of luck.
Known for being home to Italian Americans which it still is and beatniks not so much , North Beach is a bustling neighborhood that gets a ton of bridge and tunnel traffic on the weekends. Then North Beach is the place for you. Public transit situation: It's not the easiest place to get to or from, but the 8, 30, 39, and 45 all serve North Beach. Come live in North Beach where everything looks exactly the same as it did 15 years ago, nothing new ever gets built thanks Telegraph Hill Dwellers!
You're never more than a short walk away from the waters by the Embarcadero, parks to chill in on a sunny day, or easily getting to your work. And if you like frequenting cheap neighborhood dive bars, having a wide range of late-night food options, and generally enjoy living in a lawless environment and who doesn't , North Beach is for you! Plus, Park Chalet is right by the ocean for when you want to sit outside, drink beer, and listen to live music. Public transit situation: Hahahaha.
Okay, fine. The 1-California, Geary, and 5-Fulton all go there. And a parking space. People love to tow cars here. Pretty much like the Outer Richmond, except on the other side of the park. And at times it can feel like suburbia. There are also a lot of Irish Americans and plenty of families. And surfers. And Noriega pizza is very much East Coast in style of pizza and love of the Celtics.
The downfalls are there is a pretty good chance you will never see the sun again, and if you have seasonal affective disorder, be ready to cry. A lot. Other downfalls may be you could be washing your car and in the span of an hour be offered drugs, twice. Also be ready for the chill with surfers and yoga mamas, but it's still okay to live there and make fun of that because the rare sunset on the beach with a beer lasts forever.
