Working in tech and looking to live nearby the office? SoMa is San Francisco’s largest neighborhood and is known for its industrial past and tech-filled present and future. Once covered in warehouses, SoMa has experienced a renaissance due to the massive amount of companies moving to the area. Walking to work or catching BART/MUNI couldn’t be easier when living in this region, especially around the Civic Center. SoMa experienced its rebirth in part due to the San Francisco Giants’ Oracle Park located in South Beach. This state-of-the-art waterfront ballpark consistently sells out events and has paved the way for bars, clubs, restaurants, and much more to be developed in the area. The neighborhood will also welcome a new tenant when the Golden State Warriors move across the bay later this year.

The Mission is usually sunny due to the the micro-climates of San Francisco and Twin Peaks that protect this neighborhood from fog and wind.
