Ground zero for gentrification arguments in almost every housing cycle. Flat streets, sunny weather, historical cultural institutions, and colorful street life. Welcome to the Mission, where hipsters zoom down Valencia on tomorrow’s transport idea while humble housekeepers hustle hard with their heads down.

Master-planned masterpiece or mid-rise suburban-esque stucco nightmare? Welcome to San Francisco’s newest neighborhood, redeveloped from former railroad land and anchored by UCSF’s Mission Bay campus. Sunny weather, new to newer construction, 47 acres of parks, and an arena for the Warriors.

Meet Potrero Hill, where you can check out but you can never really leave. Sunny weather, jaw-dropping views of the downtown skyline and San Francisco Bay. Friendly, charming, and filled with more than you’d expect, it’s a hill unto itself.

Tennessee. Minnesota. Illinois. You haven’t left San Francisco, you’ve arrived in the Dogpatch.
