Sort San Francisco neighborhoods by:
These neighborhoods have the shortest rush-hour commute to Downtown on public transit
#1 Telegraph Hill →
Garden-lined wooden stairways climb past balconies with panoramic bay views. Parking is nonexistent, but where else would you want to go?
#2 Nob Hill →
The mansions of the city’s early tycoons have been replaced with apartments, but cable cars still carry commuters up these famously scenic streets.
#3 Rincon Hill →
A thick cluster of gleaming condo towers has gone up near the foot of the Bay Bridge, turning this South of Market neighborhood into a busy urban hub.
#4 North Beach →
In San Francisco’s own Little Italy, tourists eat pasta at sidewalk tables and locals stroll down Columbus Avenue to the Financial District.
#5 Lower Nob Hill →
Parking is scarce but transit is abundant in this densely populated neighborhood between Nob Hill and the Tenderloin.
#6 Russian Hill →
Locals tote groceries up garden-lined stairways, and cable cars ding the bell as they pass local watering holes. This is classic San Francisco all the way.
#7 Cathedral Hill →
Named for the large churches clustered here, this neighborhood just north of the Western Addition is also packed with apartment and condo towers.
#8 Pacific Heights →
Well-heeled residents lavish love on their historic homes, frequent Fillmore Street’s elegant boutiques, and walk their pups in the hilltop parks.
#9 Castro →
Justly famous as the heart of the city’s gay life since the 1970s, the Castro is still hopping. And downtown is just a short ride down Market Street.
#10 Polk Gulch →
Just up and over Nob Hill and Russian Hill from FiDi, Polk’s lively food and nightlife scene lends a neighborhood feel to this busy part of town.
