Relocating to San Francisco

Known as the “Golden Gate City” or “The Golden City”, San Francisco, San Fran, or just Frisco to a lot of locals is the fourth most populated city in California with nearly 1 million residents. It covers a landmass of nearly 47 mi.² at the end of the San Francisco Peninsula making it the second most densely populated US city after New York.

So, if you’re planning to move to San Francisco or check out the local suburbs and surrounding areas, here are a few things to know about San Francisco proper and relocating to downtown.

1. Living in downtown can be expensive.

We are one of the most expensive places to live in California, but that also means we have some high-rise penthouses, luxury condominiums, and beautiful homes in and around the downtown area.

2. We have a competitive housing market.

Yes, San Francisco is still extremely competitive so it really pays to have a real estate agent who understands the area and knows the market in individual neighborhoods to be able to get the house you really want and the property you need.

3. Neighborhoods matter.

While, as a real estate agent, we cannot steer you to one neighborhood or the other, we can offer information and tips on different neighborhoods and what might work best for your budget and your lifestyle.

4. We have great weather.

You won’t find it as hot or as human in places like San Diego and because we are by the bay and the water, we have mild and cool weather practically year-round.

5. We have great transportation.

Our public transportation is some of the top rated in the country. It’s one of the best ways to get around whether it’s an Uber, the bus, subway system, Metro lines, or light rail.

6. There’s always something to do.

From the cliché Lombard Street to Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate Bridge, fantastic Pier 39, Muir Woods, and all of the amazing places to eat, a foodie paradise, and activities every single weekend, there’s never a lack of things to do, see, and explore.
