Great list, Mission and North Beach are two Amazing places ! But if one day, i achieve my dream to buy a condo in SF, i would definitly choose Marina District !!
Appreciate your breakdowns and information on new and up and coming things within San Francisco. This made me chuckle though: "The Mission is on the hillier side." It's one of the most flat neighborhoods in San Francisco!
I always stay in North Beach when I visit S.F. and I could definitely see myself living in the neighborhood if I were to relocate to SF. But that wouldn't happen, because SF always gets cold at night and I like warm evening walks...😊
Great list! For younger singles, these are popular neighborhoods. I would respectfully add that Mission Bay and Marina Green are built *entirely* on landfill, and since most people who have never lived in an earthquake zone might not be aware, any area built on landfill will be prone to liquefaction in the event of a decent sized earthquake (read: solid surfaces lose their strength and act like a liquid). In the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake (only a 6.9 @ 5:04 PM, broad daylight), much of the Marina sustained serious damage. Mission Bay did not exit at that time, it was a swamp largely used for dumping. NOTE: It is my understanding that all the buildings in Mission Bay have been built on cement pillars that are grounded in solid bedrock. What will liquify is the ground/sidewalks, parks and streets that surround all those buildings. If you are at work elsewhere when this happens, it's unlikely you can get to your pets afterwards. If you have human children, of course, they will not leave the human children trapped and/or isolated, but your pets will *not* be the priority. You must understand this before putting your pet's lives at risk (something you *must* consider in earthquakes, wildfires, and tsunami zones). Make sure that if you are new to California, or if you don't know what liquefaction is, that you do your due diligence first before making a decision (especially if you have pets and/or children, or if you or a loved one have physical limitations that impair your mobility). In California, these are things you must consider for yourself and anyone (including pets) who depend on you for their safety.
You have good advice here for people new to the Bay Area, it is important to be knowledgeable about the type of soil that your home is built on, and also have plans for an earthquake. But some of your post is over the top or inaccurate. Mission Bay was there in 1979. The area was filled in in the 1800s. In 1979, there were warehouses, light industry, a large concrete mixing plant, and a golf range. Most of the streets that are there now were already there. Not sure why you think pets or children will be trapped in an earthquake any more than in any other area of San Francisco. Liquefaction only lasts for a few seconds as the ground shakes. And it does not become like water, more like a mush and then returns to solid ground. There might be some sand boils here and there, but thsoe are easy to avoid. I was able to walk around the streets of the Marina District right after the earthquake of 1979. The power lines were down, apartment buildings collapsed, and some were on fire, but the streets were in good shape. However, since the buildings in Mission Bay are built to higher modern standards, they should not collapse. Streets might be closed, but that could happen in any neighborhood. That is why it is essential as part of your earthquake preparedness to have a family rendezvous location and a go bag. As the saying goes, the best earthquake insurance is to live in a new building.
No, what you’re talking about there are neighborhoods in San Francisco. That are just fabulous and surprisingly one of them is the Haight-Ashbury. Yes it was a very difficult place and different in 1984 when we moved here. It is now one of the best in the city, there’s no crime it’s walkable everywhere. There are three grocery stores within three blocks of each other coffee in every cornerand very friendly people.
I used to live on Chestnut Street, next door to the Presidio Theater. At first, it was great because of how convenient everything was, but over time, I found myself wanting more peace and quiet. I also lived in North Beach (Grant & Greenwich), which was a cool experience, but I’ve come to prefer the Marina/Cow Hollow overall. The Mission definitely has some amazing restaurants, but beyond that, it’s not somewhere I’d choose to live in.
3:52 and 6:00, talking about Mission District being hilly being a downside--Isn't >90% of the Mission flat? It gets hilly toward Dolores and towards 101 yes but that's a very low percentage of the entire district. Agree that it's one of the best tho!
But, if you like any of those neighborhoods, look slightly outside. For example, dogpatch is almost indistinguishable from mission bay because its just slightly south. You might like it better, actually. It will put you closer to the awesome developments happening along the bay. I've heard real-estate agents tell me "we're in mission Bay," "we're in central waterfront," "we're in lower potrero hill," and "we're in dogpatch" for the same property. So, if you're looking, you might want to trust but verify. 😏
Agree there are plenty of places you can look and be immediately near any of these places. But I don't think Dogpatch is anything like Mission Bay. VERY different character.
The only good reason you move to San Francisco is the weather and convenience. If you want a vibrant place, the best place would be the Marina - although it is a land fill. SF is a very liberal city but if you are a Conservative and want peace and the least homeless, you move to St. Francis Woods but there are no stores in that community.
Please, please, please do not move to San Francisco. Please. Local families can't get pushed out year after year because yuppies fancy their apartments.
Yr clearly biased and have significant assets in sf, I would be defensive too if I was in that position. Why do you think elon musk is moving out of sf stating 'no choice'. I lived in sf for 6 months for work too and it was 6 months too long
Keep telling yourself you're not pushing families and locals out of their home City. Maybe you will sleep better at night. Just tell yourselves they will be happier somewhere cheaper, just like working people should be. Beauty, culture and spectacular views are specifically for the rich. Come take our homes and shutter our schools. I'm sure it's not your fault.
What did they pay you? To families, do NOT come to SF. It is not safe. SF native and 60 years going here. Wait for the bottom, still a long way off. Best of luck.
Crime down YoY Population up YoY Tourism up YoY Tourist spending up YoY Condo prices up YoY Single family prices up YoY Unsheltered homeless down YoY Office vacancies fell Q4’2024 for first time since pre pandemic Office leasing activity highest since 2019 But yea…still a long way to the bottom 😅
@@austinklar I work in financial services and know plenty of RE and CRE brokers in the Bay and those "stats" are not true. Locals all know about the crime stats and how they are not reported. Oakland just recalled their DA because of this. Why are home prices up (if they are)? Inflation! Not due to actual job and economic growth. Challenge: I will meet you in SF @ City Hall and we can walk to Ferry Building via Union Square and film the REALITY all of your points. DM me if you accept. But I even doubt you live here locally or will respond to this.
I’m sure it is a big cabal across every org in government feeding us data that only you and your buddies know to be false. If you had actual facts demonstrating that anything being reported was untrue, you would publish it for the world to see.
@@austinklar Huh? You never SOURCED any of your "stats" ether Austin. So, I guess my offer would be a no from you, to meet up and see what is actually going on? Your viewers would see reality and then get to choose what they want to believe on their own, but you have to maintain your image. I suspect my comment will be delete shortly. But, keep pretending and creating the illusion; that is your job as a salesman.
I have a video discussing all of that, and my sources are linked in the description for that video. ua-cam.com/video/OQSV117SilM/v-deo.html We're all excited to see your data.
Beautiful SAN FRANCISCO but RENT EXPENSIVE... 💵 No need for car Public transportation. Sucks.. especially at night after 7 pm .. Downtown TL. 💩 EVERY STEP SMELLS BAD NOT DANGEROUS AT ALL BUT BORING AT NIGHT 🌃 FOOD SUCKS....

Def not. There are parts that are flat, but some of the mission is steeeeep.
I always stay in North Beach when I visit S.F. and I could definitely see myself living in the neighborhood if I were to relocate to SF. But that wouldn't happen, because SF always gets cold at night and I like warm evening walks...😊
I was born there and wish I could afford to live there again. It has cleaned up a lot since the pandemic.

Agree. I love the food in Mission but don’t want to live there. Especially as I get older.

yeah a good portion is flat, I guess most of the area I would actually want to live in is the hilly part closer to the park. Thanks for watching :)

ha they're not so bad
@@austinklar I think you missed the point, there. This sentiment is everywhere here.
clearly not
@@austinklar Not as long as you refuse to acknowledge it. That way you don't have to feel bad.
Why are you listening to my conversations💀 I’m also from Santa Barbara county making the move lol that’s crazy
Cow Hollow the best spot
Definitely up there. Union St is great - Luke’s local, mama’s and coffee roasters breakfast burrito rotation.

I love SFW. I'd say if thats your vibe, you can also move to Sea Cliff or Presidio Terrace
