Then there are these neighborhoods that didn’t even make it to the list: SoMa, Dog Patch, Mission, Castro, NoPa, Bernal Heights, Crocker Amazon, Visitacion Valley, Lake Shore, FiDi, Excelsior
Some corrections: It is true west portal /sunset is more foggy, but it is mostly during June to Aug summer month that actually a plus as avg temp stays in 70 compare 80+ I other areas.
Bundling up West Portal with Sunset doesn't really make sense. West Portal has way more public transit connectivity (20-mins to downtown), doesn't actually have the same weather as the sunset and just overall has such a different vibe to the sunset 🤷♀️
Yeah they’re very different from each other but my reasons for me putting them where I did are very similar. Every neighborhood that’s on the same tier is pretty different in many ways.
@@austinklarworse? Fog for a couple of hours before it clears out is worse? You need to open up your mind if you want to truly help you clients find a home.
My top spots weren't even listed, so... - Mission Bay: Packed with amenities, restaurants, parks, modern condos, super walkable, clean, ocean front and has sPark & Chase Center! New parks and developments coming. - North Beach: One of the most bustling & charming neigborhoods you'll ever see. Little Italty culture, tons of history, night life, cafe's and gorgeous Washington Square. - Hayes Valley: Highly sought after among the younger crowd, very busting walkable feel, alleys full of shops, public gardens, trendy shops, vintage stores, epic food scene, close to theater distric, jazz and opera venues, museums, HV ranked one of the world's coolest streets - FiDi: Pristine part of Downtown (aside from part of Embarcadero). Waterfront, very walkable, lots of shops & restaurants coming back, museums, galleries, very historic spots around Market, lots of great street events & farmer's markets, food trucks, includes Salesforce Park & The Ferry Building, public transit A++, dog owners love it here. Walking / running along the Embarcadero is an experience. - Haight Ashbury: Historic hippie culture area. Again, very vibrant bustling area full of 5+ blocks of shops and restaurants flanked by insanely gorgeous Golden Gate Park, Panhandle & Beuna Vista Park. The main street can get grimy in parts, but 1 block from either side are some of the most beautiful edwardian homes nestled among giant tree canopies. - The Castro: Think of all that vibrant walkable restaurant mecca scene you get here, but with a hint of Amsterdam. Market Street here is gorgeous and lined with palm trees, rainbow flags and colorful flower shops & parklets. Muni stops all around, epic hilltop views speckled with multicolor homes and The famous Castro theater. I could go on: Duboce, Twin Peaks, The Mission, SoMa,
Love this- I got about 70 other neighborhoods to do lol. Of all of these, north beach is my favorite. Where I first lived when I moved here. Some amazing food. I worked in fidi and got to walk to work. Fidi is great but it’s def not the same. Still some great food and being close to the water is lovely. I like the colorful Castro homes but not the biggest fan of hills since I prefer to walk as much as I can. Great area with warm weather
@@austinklar Nice, yeah there are tons of neighborhoods. Our first apt. was in North Beach too! Really miss the Filbert Steps and Hole In The Wall Coffee.
Mission Bay is Bay front. not ocean front. This is a big distinction because the ocean side (west) can be 20 degrees colder than the bay front (east side) at any given times. Plus more wind, sand, rust damage, etc on the ocean side.
Im all for sharing good and bad places to inform the viewer but this is an incredibly biased and narrow view with a huge obvious marina skew, you're def not from here. Completely leaving out and not even mentioning the mission and the castro, arguably the two most famous neighborhoods of SF, is baffling. Not to mention skipping North Beach, chinatown, japantown, SOMA, dog patch, bernal heights, glen park, excelsior, ingleside, inner sunset, to name a few. The only thing I agree with is the D tier, spot on.
Kinda hard to do 80+ neighborhoods in one video. More coming. Wouldn’t live in the mission, but great food and nightlife. Would be on my C tier. Same with Chinatown. Castro/Eureka Valley B, North Beach B, Bernal C, GP B, SoMa D, Dogpatch C (but that probs changes 10 years from now).
You should name this video - “Ranking a handful of SF neighborhoods based on my hobby, what I eat and my interests”. This is most random tiered list on SF neighborhoods that I have come across. I believe there should be a separate list for singles and family. Btw, most expensive # most desirable.
@@austinklarExactly! Different people has different preferences, priorities, financial situations and life styles. It just happens that I agree with on how you view these neighborhoods, and don’t even bother to watch after a minute or two for some other people’s neighborhood intro videos. 😂
@@prte9285 what makes it not desirable? The beautiful views? The good restaurants, shops and bars? The walkability? The proximity to the water? The proximity to the Presidio?
Great info in here! The only thing that surprises me is that Jordan Park is flanked on all 4 sides by shopping/parks/loads of stuff! Laurel Village, the Sacramento Street shops, the Geary/Masonic corridor (including a walkable Trader Joe’s and Target) and Clement street!
True! Laurel village has great grocery stores but not really much shopping. Cute design stuff there at Emily Jaubert. Sac and Clement a little walk but not too bad. Thanks for watching!
I live in Cole Valley and I love it. I prefer the Sunset district to the Richmond since I can easily get downtown on the N Judah and there are no Muni trains on the north side.
Cole Valley is lovely. One of the best areas for weather and historic homes. Sunset has more transit options so understand people prefer if you don’t have a car. Thanks for watching!
That’s also a good point…the spots I mention don’t have a wide range of true “shopping” stores…like Union/Chestnut. I hope Emily Joubert is successful and brings others. (I moved from Jordan Park to West Pacific Hgts in 2004.) Agree with your thinking! 😀
I lived in Inner Richmond in the early 2000's on numbered streets between Geary and Ckement. All the apartment buildings were zero lot lunes and felt crowded. Other neighborhiids in the north side of Chicago are not as crowded once you're off the lake. I think Inner Richmond is more of a -list neighborhood hayes Valley and mist of Nob Hill is better.
I often find his content helpful and on-target. However, I definitely don't agree with weighting a subjective metric such as "being close to Marin" so heavily while grading neighborhoods concretely. By that logic, what grade does Pac Heights get dropped to for not being convenient to SFO for travelers? The subjectivity scale he applies sort of did a disservice to where I think he was going with this.
The point was to rank them for my personal lifestyle and preferences. Obviously someone who needs to commute to the South Bay or fly weekly for work will not put being close to Marin as a priority.
Didn’t want to be a litigator for the rest of my life and didn’t want to start something new too late. Saw an opportunity and took it. No regrets. What group you interviewing with? Best of luck!
I am going to San Francisco as a graduate student to work at UCSF. What district would you recommend so it is inexpensive and well connected with the University Campus?
Inner Sunset will be your best bet if on the main campus. Definitely cheapest of the immediately surrounding areas, great access to the university, parks, restaurants.
Not true. Some are -like sea cliff, saint Francis wood and presidio terrace. But you can find condos in almost all the others for well below $1.5m, well below $1m for smaller units.
Verde SF and The Canyon are the newest rental buildings at Mission Rock right in that area. Great spaces. Have you looked into either of those yet? Verde just opened a few weeks ago.
I peaked at the two you mentioned and I have to admit, way more expensive than I would like to spend. Any other thoughts? I don’t mind a 20-30 min commute.
@@isannacuriel9475 not a ton of amenity buildings 20-30 minutes away from Mission Bay generally, and most are not much less expensive. Take a look at The Rise in Hayes Valley, The Fitzgerald in Mission, Fifteen Fifty in Mission, Isle House on Treasure Island, 150 Van Ness. Those are the ones I can think of off top of my head not directly in the Mission Bay / SoMa areas, but may generally in similar pricepoints, subject to potential deals like 1 or 2 months of rent credit.
@austinklar downtown and Marin are 2 different worlds and very far from each other. Actually 1 isn't even in San Francisco. This proves my point. I understand that people have their own preferences but don't Marin in your list because it isn't even in the city. But welcome, we pretty much accept everyone here.
My point was that for anyone who works in downtown or wants to go to Marin on weekends, or who works north (like I do multiple days a week), being in the sunset is inconvenient.
I think you missed the point. My preference is based on, among other things, it being inconvenient to get to both downtown and Marin (where I spend multiple days a week for work and visiting family)
After I filmed it I was like SHOOOOT how did I not talk about the Mission?! There are a few I really want to talk about that weren't mentioned (Potrero Hill, North Beach, Mission, Castro, Cole Valley, Glen Park, and many more), so I'll probs do another one at some point. It's hard to get all the areas into one video.
Very informative! I have traveled annually to San Francisco for over 30 years and I learned about several neighborhoods that I was not familiar with. Thank you!
I think it's a cool area, but it is SO touristy and there's never street parking available, and because it is so touristy its a popular spot for car break ins. Not personally a big fan, but it's near some great food in Hayes V and along Divisadero.
This dude listed the most boring neighborhoods as A and S tier, while leaving the best neighborhoods completely off the list. If you lived in those neighborhoods you would be frequently leaving them to do anything. If you want big secluded homes, there is much better places to be than SF.
Kinda hard to do 80 neighborhoods in one video. And the most boring neighborhood for you might be exactly what others want. It’s why they continue to be the most expensive. Not everyone wants to live in the Mission or the Castro-it’s loud, and parts of them arent the cleanest or safest. But have great food and nightlife so it’s nice going out there and returning to a more “boring” part of town.
They continue to be the most expensive housing units simply due to their size and (limited) availability. I think there is an important distinction to be made here between “best neighborhood” and “most desirable homes”. Aside from that, I agree. 80 neighborhoods is too much to cover in a single video. I do think you might be setting yourself up for disagreement with such a tier list though.
Would be great to see a video on neighborhoods to live/buy in under 2 million. Definitely some gems in there but Pac / Presidio are unreasonable for most. Would love to see your thoughts on Duboce/Haight/Mission.
Here are a few! But will try to make one that compiles it in a different way organized more by price. Outer Sunset -- ua-cam.com/video/LTRQNcry_Y8/v-deo.html Haight Ashbury -- ua-cam.com/video/OGUmjdBSvgI/v-deo.html Mission -- ua-cam.com/video/GVmdlsyIHBU/v-deo.html Glen Park -- ua-cam.com/video/UvdmSxKLjXc/v-deo.html
Your list is flawed, clearly shows you're not orignally from San Francisco. You forgot to mentioned Balboa terrace, Ingleside terrace, Parkside, Glen Park, Crocker Amazon and Forest Hill, these are good neighborhood.
There are about 90 neighborhoods in SF--obviously not going through all of them in one video. Have plenty more to do besides the 6 you mention (about 70 more).
B-very walkable, great weather, some of SF's (and the country's) best restaurants concentrated within walking distance, easy for people working in downtown/Mission Bay/SOMA areas, and easy commute to the South Bay. Plus I personally like a lot of the modern highrises and amenity buildings. If that type of living isn't for you, not worth looking at. Other parts of SOMA as you get closer to 6th St, it trends more into the D category - more run down, more homeless, less safe, not great to walk around, and the overall landscape of buildings isn't quite as nice.
I lived there when I first moved here and I hated it. I disagree about the walkability., It's *NOT* at all pedestrian friendly with lots of high-injury intersections.
Soma should be D, it just not safe to walk. From 5th to 9th street on mission down to townsend . And traffic at 3&6pm . Cars drive fast when traffic time over.
Those are legit Top tier A best places if you are buying a home. Dogpatch and mission bay are the best for luxury apartments with plenty of things to do.
Left my hometown when the slide started after Loma Prieta quake.Even in the 'burbs a studio condo with street parking was 500k.And now living proof of the inept political class FORTY NINE SQUARE MILES have been destroyed.Noting this video really sounds like a shill.Yeah Hunters point low utilities bills glowing! Always been a 'hood now it has a weird sense of entitlement.Another masterpiece is that Market street every single business from the ferry building to Daly City.....GONE NOW.....why would one want to live in a city with corrupt public works and no public safety?
Market Street doesn't go anywhere near Daly City. And I regularly patronize a half-dozen businesses on that street. Does "gone" mean something different in your universe?
I live in San Francisco and every single day I walk to work and have to step over human excrement. I see homeless people walking around outside half naked and high and the city does not care. I am LGBTQ so I can say whatever I want about them. After a LGBTQ event I went to a pizza place and stood behind a gay man who was wearing nothing but a thong. I am staying because I want to become a software engineer.
Then there are these neighborhoods that didn’t even make it to the list: SoMa, Dog Patch, Mission, Castro, NoPa, Bernal Heights, Crocker Amazon, Visitacion Valley, Lake Shore, FiDi, Excelsior
LOTS of neighborhoods left to do for sure.

Left my hometown when the slide started after Loma Prieta quake.Even in the 'burbs a studio condo with street parking was 500k.And now living proof of the inept political class FORTY NINE SQUARE MILES have been destroyed.Noting this video really sounds like a shill.Yeah Hunters point low utilities bills glowing! Always been a 'hood now it has a weird sense of entitlement.Another masterpiece is that Market street every single business from the ferry building to Daly City.....GONE NOW.....why would one want to live in a city with corrupt public works and no public safety?
Market Street doesn't go anywhere near Daly City. And I regularly patronize a half-dozen businesses on that street. Does "gone" mean something different in your universe?
I go the other way (ha ha) to the South Burlingame etc; F Marin County
All are WAY too expensive
I live in San Francisco and every single day I walk to work and have to step over human excrement. I see homeless people walking around outside half naked and high and the city does not care. I am LGBTQ so I can say whatever I want about them. After a LGBTQ event I went to a pizza place and stood behind a gay man who was wearing nothing but a thong. I am staying because I want to become a software engineer.
