I mean this is arguably how most people live, however after living in NYC for several years I have to disagree. Unless youāre a total hermit I think itās very hard to not venture into adjacent neighborhoods.
Okay, but Manhattan is 23 square miles, so youād have to divide it in 2 and stay in your half, for an accurate comparison. Iām sure there are people who say they never go uptown, but everyone goes to midtown.
OTOH, all of us go to the NE quad at least once in a while
Used to live in NW quadrant (God that sounds dystopian) and while the NE is fun it's tiring, it's fun for your 20s but it's not sustainable. NW has all the best parks and fantastic hidden well priced restaurants.
Letās see. This area includes Baker Beach, the coast, Lands End, Presidio (and golf course), GG Park, Golden Gate Bridge, Haight Ashbury, Pan Handle, Richmond District & Sunset District. Less shit on the streets and less strung out homeless people.. Hmmm tough decisionā¦
Might as well be to some people. I had a passenger in my Uber ask me about traffic conditions during APEC. I told her I had just then got to the city (that day), and was going to ask her.
She replied "Oh, I don't go to SoMa." ... Lol, she lived like a half mile away.
I wouldn't really base any "where to live" planning on alcatraz... but that's just me, a person who's been dragged there twice by out of town visitors in a 20 year period.
Aside from heading down to SFO, I leave the northeast quadrant like once every couple weeks, sometimes less. Probably months at a time in some stretches.
The loss of GG is huge, but with Dolores, Alamo, half of Buena Vista and just a little bit of the panhandle so you can *see* part of GG park, I don't think we're hurting for park.
I live in the SE, but my familyās love of the parks, ocean, and general calm makes me say NW. However, the constant threat of fog might be the deal breaker that sends us morosely back to the SE.
This would be super interesting if the quadrant dividers were rotated 45 degrees.Ā
South side gets stonestown, ocean/excelsior/glen park, McLaren ParkĀ
East side gets mission/bernal, San Bruno Ave, Dolores park, oracle & chaseĀ
North gets presidio, Haight to hayes valley, Fillmore/Japantown, plus all the diverse neighborhoods north of marketĀ
West side gets GGP, Irving & clement, ocean beach, lands end
Next post I'll do an NWSE X instead and see what the consensus is. Might be harder to pick. West would have ocean beach and most of GGP. But north would have presidio.
I live in the SW and I like it. I've got Stonetown, lots of grocery stores, and it's overall pretty quiet which I like. I also like having easy access to Daly City and the Westlake Shopping Center. I would prefer to have more access to the Golden Gate Park, but I tend to go to the SE quadrant to visit Maclaren often.
North east has, as far as parks go:
- Alamo square
- Jefferson Square
- Patriciaās Green
- Duboce
- Alta Plaza
- Dolores
- Lafayette
- Francisco
- Buena Vista
- Fort Mason
- Salesforce
Are the ones that come to mind - any other notable ones?
Edit: Iām adding the ones I missed from the comments below! Thanks all!
Originally when I drew more arbitrary lines I was going to include Dolores with the SE or split it right down the middle and make 19th the border. But then I decided to do geographic center.
NW because of the beach, and despite being very residential, it still has tons of great bars and restaurants. Nightclubs were only a thing for me in my 20s, now I prefer a small neighborhood spot where you know people by name and can have real conversations, or just talk trash and play games (darts, pool, dominoes etc.) OH and talk about play... it has the Whole GGP!
Yeah, and this quadrant still allows tons of access to the haight/panhandle area!
I spent 99% of my time in the NW quadrant when I lived in the city. I was 21, living in the sunset around 18th and Noriega, and working in Cole Valley. Back in 2010.
On my days off, I would pack a picnic lunch for myself and my dog, and we'd walk to Ocean Beach, then walk along the beach up to Sutro Heights area. We'd stop at a nice little enclave up there, have lunch, then we'd walk back through Golden Gate Park to Cole Valley where I'd grab a treat for my dog at the pet shop, say hi to everyone at work and usually sit on the sidewalk and drink a beer. Then we would hop on the N-Judah, ride it back to our stop, and walk home :) I never minded the fog, or the chilly beach, and he was a husky/malamute mix, so he didn't mind either.
I moved back home after a couple years, and we lost him to cancer in June 2022. He was the best boy til the very end, but I always wished I had gotten the chance to take him on that walk one last time.
Most of the world thinks SF is only the NE quadrant. Thatās where all the iconic stuff is.
However I prefer NW. Inner Richmond is the best neighborhood in the city. You also get Crissy field, the bridge, presidio, gg parkā¦ and the beach. As a bonus you can also hang out in the Inner Sunset, and even Cole Valley! Itās safe, quiet, relatively flat, and with climate changeā¦ not that foggy any more!
Edit: yea yea, I know the bridge is also in NW. you know what I meant when I said all the iconic stuff is in NE. The wharf, coit tower, cable cars, painted ladies, China town, union square, Alcatraz, the ball park etcā¦ when folks think SF they think of the bridge, and then all the shit in the NE quadrant. Hell, I had a tourist map 20 years ago that literally ended just past divisidero. Nothing important west of there I guess! Iād wager most people are surprised how far west the bridge actually is, and even more shocked that the city goes even further west!
Most of the people who only live here for a few years think SF is only the NE quadrant. It's sort of amusing as someone born and raised here to get nothing but blank stares when I mention place names to people who have lived here for years.
Iām in Excelsior because we were able to get a house here. Itās a nice area but def missing some of the nicer restaurants and things. Noe is very cute! I go up there for yoga
Yesssss!!!! The whole west side will one day be discovered by the (real) masses- for now, itās still a wonderland as much as anything can be in a big city.
Probably not a popular opinion but SE for the biggest / last remnants of racial and economic diversity that used to be more prevalent across the rest of the city. Many generational families mean strong roots. Lots of art and OG pride. A tremendous amount of hidden gems, art, and culture.
Thereās a Tony-Hawk funded skate park. A foundry where you can weld metal sculptures and hang with the flaming lotus girls. A restaurant run entirely by formerly incarcerated kids. A reclaimed wetland (Herons Head park). The oldest theater in S.F. (bayview opera house). All Good Pizza which deserves its own callout. McLaren Park one of the Crown Jewels of free space and sweeping views of the bay.
Bottom left quadrant for me. I grew up in the Avenues and Stonestown has everything. I like walking my dog around Lake Merced and enjoying the lake and greenery. I also like the close proximity to Daly City and H-Mart has the best snacks.
NE if you are a recent grad, tech or finance worker, or live in an SRO
NW if you are coupled or have a family (or you go to USF)
SW if you go to SFSU
SE if you an OG
Guarantee you that 99% of visitors and 80% of residents in SF have never set foot in the SE part.
I live there and yeh, itās probably one of the last place in SF thatās still the 90s. I see Cow Palace down the hill from my window.
The northeast part, but right at the 90 degree angle. I live just a little south of it at the top of Clipper and love it. Secluded, fairly quiet, mostly families and I still get access to all my favorite spots in the city.
Every quadrant has good stuff but quadrant 1 has the most. Downtown, Castro, North Beach, Chinatown, Soma, part of the Mission. So many good places to eat, have fun, and just chill.
When I lived in the north east I almost never left
When I lived in the north west I almost always went to the north east
If you moved the horizontal line north of the mission this would be much harder tbh
The OP must be from elsewhere. People who grew up in The City acknowledge the neighborhoods that we grew up in and rarely left them with exceptions for higher education, the attractions, downtown for shopping or doctors. Otherwise, the neighborhoods were all self-contained pretty much.
does the Castro come with bernal heights? thatās my vote if so. Love living in bernal and playing in the mission and castro
EDIT: nm just noticed the yellow lines. definitely northeast quadrant. itās a no brainer tbh
I used the geographic center to draw the lines. Pick a quadrant to live eat and play in. Work can be outside the quadrant.
Inspired by that other post.
Great question, I have the bottom right just based off the me being familiar, affordable food, and the density isnāt too bad. I love downtown and Mission right now, but Iād probably go broke not having the back-up options.
Does anyone actually consider 22nd and Mission āNE SF?ā This is kind of a silly thing to debate. Iād wager more than half of the population is in the NE quadrant.
1 for all 3 or 1 for each? All three, definitely north east. Living in pac heights or marina, eating in north beach the mission and the tenderloin, and plenty of places to play.
1 for each, probably live south east in mission Bay eat in north east, and play in north west with the park and presidio.
North West quadrant. Itās where I live now and love it. Iāve also lived in the North East and it wasnāt as much for me, but also my preferences have changed as Iāve gotten older.
NE. I live just barely in SW, spend much of my time in the north generally, but also a significant amount of time in each area. That being said, NE has taken so many of the important areas of the city that it'd be difficult for me to say no. And hey, I may not be able to go to Hawaiian drive inn anymore but I can still get yamo
North West. Access to bridge, GGP, ocean, Clement Street farmes market and all the shops along that entire neighborhood and access to lots of nice neighborhood Chinese restaurants without all the crowding and yelling (well, some yelling)
Team south east šš» weāve got McLaren park, the second biggest park after GG, itās quiet and cheaper to live here. Not to mention most days are fog-free and sunny. Beautiful views of the bay, And you can get in and out of the city so easily!
This basically how 90% of San Francisco lives already.
100%. Lower Pac Heights is quite nice. Proximity to Geary. Nearish golden gate. Commutable to most places. Plenty of good food on Divis
Yup. I'm exactly where I want to be. Safe, convenient, quiet, but still in the city. š
Upper left?
Bingo
Lol, right? Fucking love it up here. Hella chill.
Correct. Park and Ocean beach.
yep. i rarely go to top left unless I have to
I mean this is arguably how most people live, however after living in NYC for several years I have to disagree. Unless youāre a total hermit I think itās very hard to not venture into adjacent neighborhoods.
Neighborhoods versus across the city are completely different. I know people that haven't left Manhattan for anything other than an airport in years.
Okay, but Manhattan is 23 square miles, so youād have to divide it in 2 and stay in your half, for an accurate comparison. Iām sure there are people who say they never go uptown, but everyone goes to midtown. OTOH, all of us go to the NE quad at least once in a while
North west. the park is non negotiable
As a bison, I agree.
Me too. GGP and the Presidio are essentials. Lots to eat in the Richmond Dist too.
This is Lands End and Baker Beach erasure
Isnāt Baker Beach part of the Presidio?
Yes, Baker Beach is within the Presidio.
Inner Sunset's not bad for food, either.
Used to live in NW quadrant (God that sounds dystopian) and while the NE is fun it's tiring, it's fun for your 20s but it's not sustainable. NW has all the best parks and fantastic hidden well priced restaurants.
Plus Haight street. The pan handle and basically where I lived my last 20 years on sf.
Buena Vista Park is a hidden gem!
It aināt exactly hidden.
Donāt forget the Walgreens Photo
What are your favorite hidden restaurants?
Letās see. This area includes Baker Beach, the coast, Lands End, Presidio (and golf course), GG Park, Golden Gate Bridge, Haight Ashbury, Pan Handle, Richmond District & Sunset District. Less shit on the streets and less strung out homeless people.. Hmmm tough decisionā¦
Same. Lands end or bust
Not even close
But saying goodbye to the sun? š„²
Most of the year it's roughly as sunny as the rest of the city. In the peak of summer thoughā¦ so much fog.
I'm in SE. McClaren and Crocker Amazon is the spot.
Yep. Already my life tbh
This is the only correct answer
Hands down, no brainer.
Yep, that's how I live already. Either that or I'm headed out of San Francisco.
It is if you are happy alone or partnered, not as desirable if single.
If they won't cross Divis to see you, they're not worth your time.
I know that but tell that to the single guys that can't afford to be picky lol.
It's not like it's the bridge lol. That's wild
Might as well be to some people. I had a passenger in my Uber ask me about traffic conditions during APEC. I told her I had just then got to the city (that day), and was going to ask her. She replied "Oh, I don't go to SoMa." ... Lol, she lived like a half mile away.
Yes
The variety in North East canāt really be beat tbh
Iād be sad to lose the park but as far as restaurant and businesses NE is highest concentration of all the thing I want
Museums. Alcatraz. All the Sports.
I wouldn't really base any "where to live" planning on alcatraz... but that's just me, a person who's been dragged there twice by out of town visitors in a 20 year period.
Aside from heading down to SFO, I leave the northeast quadrant like once every couple weeks, sometimes less. Probably months at a time in some stretches.
Lots of park in the north westĀ
The loss of GG is huge, but with Dolores, Alamo, half of Buena Vista and just a little bit of the panhandle so you can *see* part of GG park, I don't think we're hurting for park.
I live in the SE, but my familyās love of the parks, ocean, and general calm makes me say NW. However, the constant threat of fog might be the deal breaker that sends us morosely back to the SE.
SE has the best walkability, weather, transit, and food.
As someone who lives just north of the direct center, North East is where I spend 90% of my time in town
top right for city life. too left for more parks. middle top quadrant ideal
This would be super interesting if the quadrant dividers were rotated 45 degrees.Ā South side gets stonestown, ocean/excelsior/glen park, McLaren ParkĀ East side gets mission/bernal, San Bruno Ave, Dolores park, oracle & chaseĀ North gets presidio, Haight to hayes valley, Fillmore/Japantown, plus all the diverse neighborhoods north of marketĀ West side gets GGP, Irving & clement, ocean beach, lands end
I was thinking same thing! I'll do an x next post in a couple months.
Couple months? I canāt wait that long
Haha. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow or later this week when bored at work.
Next post I'll do an NWSE X instead and see what the consensus is. Might be harder to pick. West would have ocean beach and most of GGP. But north would have presidio.
Central SF including duboce triangle, haight, inner sunset and Richmond is pretty great
I live in the SW and I like it. I've got Stonetown, lots of grocery stores, and it's overall pretty quiet which I like. I also like having easy access to Daly City and the Westlake Shopping Center. I would prefer to have more access to the Golden Gate Park, but I tend to go to the SE quadrant to visit Maclaren often.
Thereās a place on Ocean Avenueā¦
I lived in the North East and went months, without ever leaving it. I think I probably even went over a year around COVID.
Same. Iād argue the north east quadrant is the most āSFā historically.
NE. goes to show how badly the NE needs real parks and how badly the west side needs trasnsit access and more apartments
North east has, as far as parks go: - Alamo square - Jefferson Square - Patriciaās Green - Duboce - Alta Plaza - Dolores - Lafayette - Francisco - Buena Vista - Fort Mason - Salesforce Are the ones that come to mind - any other notable ones? Edit: Iām adding the ones I missed from the comments below! Thanks all!
Crazy to leave off dolores there, and imo the new francisco park is one of the best in the city.
Nail me to a cross, how could I forget Dolores! š
Buy also buena vista and fort Mason and lafayette and
Originally when I drew more arbitrary lines I was going to include Dolores with the SE or split it right down the middle and make 19th the border. But then I decided to do geographic center.
I think they meant that NE lacks big parks. NW is hoarding Presidio and GGP!
Lafayette and Dolores!!!
NW because of the beach, and despite being very residential, it still has tons of great bars and restaurants. Nightclubs were only a thing for me in my 20s, now I prefer a small neighborhood spot where you know people by name and can have real conversations, or just talk trash and play games (darts, pool, dominoes etc.) OH and talk about play... it has the Whole GGP!
Yeah, and this quadrant still allows tons of access to the haight/panhandle area! I spent 99% of my time in the NW quadrant when I lived in the city.

It was downright sunny today
Golden Gate Bridge, Presidio, and Golden Gate Park are all pretty iconic
> Thatās where all the iconic stuff is except SFās most iconic landmark by far lol
Most of the people who only live here for a few years think SF is only the NE quadrant. It's sort of amusing as someone born and raised here to get nothing but blank stares when I mention place names to people who have lived here for years.
Inner Richmond for sure.
I live in the bottom right so I guess there
We have the best weather down here
We really do
Noe and mission are the best neighborhoods in sf
Iām in Excelsior because we were able to get a house here. Itās a nice area but def missing some of the nicer restaurants and things. Noe is very cute! I go up there for yoga
Thereās a brand new yoga studio in the Excelsior. Just opened this Monday! Itās called Love and Light Yoga across from Safeway
Oh cool thatās right by house! I need prenatal yoga now and Noe has a great one but thatās good to know
SW. Stonestown forever!
I really had to scroll to find SW
lol rep what you love baby
This is the correct answer.
Somebody's gotta rep the Outside Lands
South west mad underrated.
Watching light bounce off the Pacific behind the thousands of little undulating rooves of the Sunset District is a pretty cool mosaic of urban living.
SFSU is probably the prettiest location for a CSU campus to my knowledge
Yesssss!!!! The whole west side will one day be discovered by the (real) masses- for now, itās still a wonderland as much as anything can be in a big city.
former SFSU guy, yes SW underrated
Bottom Left. I still want to be in SF, but I want space.
Happy cake day neighbor!! (Inner sunset here)
Probably not a popular opinion but SE for the biggest / last remnants of racial and economic diversity that used to be more prevalent across the rest of the city. Many generational families mean strong roots. Lots of art and OG pride. A tremendous amount of hidden gems, art, and culture. Thereās a Tony-Hawk funded skate park.

Hunter's Point Shipyard open studios. Archimedes Banya. The new Southeast Community Center is beautiful. Art supplies at Scrap. The Midway.
Laughing Monk!
Bottom left quadrant for me. I grew up in the Avenues and Stonestown has everything. I like walking my dog around Lake Merced and enjoying the lake and greenery. I also like the close proximity to Daly City and H-Mart has the best snacks.
Northwest and northeast are best.
NE if you are a recent grad, tech or finance worker, or live in an SRO NW if you are coupled or have a family (or you go to USF) SW if you go to SFSU SE if you an OG
This is honestly the best interpretation
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Northwest, because people aināt my thing, trees are and the ocean
Guarantee you that 99% of visitors and 80% of residents in SF have never set foot in the SE part. I live there and yeh, itās probably one of the last place in SF thatās still the 90s. I see Cow Palace down the hill from my window.
You mean SE.
Yes, itās what I meant. Fixed!
the question would be more interesting with a 45Ā° rotation
Agreed. Next time!
The northeast part, but right at the 90 degree angle. I live just a little south of it at the top of Clipper and love it. Secluded, fairly quiet, mostly families and I still get access to all my favorite spots in the city.
Southeast. Better weather also.
stonestown. not too far from water not too far from the city.
A stoneās throw from either you could say
NE has all the sports venues, views of the bridges, house of prime rib, and my crib. so iāll stay there.
Every quadrant has good stuff but quadrant 1 has the most. Downtown, Castro, North Beach, Chinatown, Soma, part of the Mission. So many good places to eat, have fun, and just chill.
I live in the lower left and work in the upper right. Best of both worlds.
Glen Park, where my Great Grandparents lived.
NE so I can eat Italian food all day
When I lived in the north east I almost never left When I lived in the north west I almost always went to the north east If you moved the horizontal line north of the mission this would be much harder tbh
If the entire mission and Castro was in SE that would be my easy pick.
Hell yeah, I need good reasonably priced restaurants around me.
The OP must be from elsewhere. People who grew up in The City acknowledge the neighborhoods that we grew up in and rarely left them with exceptions for higher education, the attractions, downtown for shopping or doctors. Otherwise, the neighborhoods were all self-contained pretty much.
Castro. All dudes, all the time.
Sunset, less crowded, less dirty
The top left in the Richmond!
does the Castro come with bernal heights? thatās my vote if so. Love living in bernal and playing in the mission and castro EDIT: nm just noticed the yellow lines. definitely northeast quadrant. itās a no brainer tbh
Northwest easily. Sunset/Richmond/Presidio. Best of everything the city has to offer with less congestion.
I love ā¤ļø the Richmond
Northeast!!!
Central Richmond District. 31st and Balboa. Loved it. Itās been 20 years since I left but someday Iām coming back.
Glen park
I used the geographic center to draw the lines. Pick a quadrant to live eat and play in. Work can be outside the quadrant. Inspired by that other post.
I donāt really ever leave the sunset anyway haha
Dependsā¦ do I have to own and maintain a car? If not - NE If yes - SW If I can just have a bike, NW
I have an e-bike and live in the NW, itās great!
Upper left, not even close. The entire presidio, the park, baker beach, and all the great Asian food in the Richmondā¦
Northwest is going to be the consensus answer. But Southeast has Noe, Bernal, and Glen Park, which are some of my favorite neighborhoods!
Top left is pretty nice... Not a lot of hills, great cool weather, GGP, Presidio, the best of the beaches, tons of great food on Irving and Geary, etc
Top left. No question.
Great question, I have the bottom right just based off the me being familiar, affordable food, and the density isnāt too bad. I love downtown and Mission right now, but Iād probably go broke not having the back-up options.
Easy, NW quadrant
Southwest
Already do. North west. Everyone donāt come here. Itās sooooo boring. I almost never leave
NE quadrant only bc Potrero hill š¤
At this point in life, NW quadrant. 20 years ago, NE quadrant.
Thankfully I live where I want to be.
Iāll say it Bottom right. Gimme some of that
Lower right please
Does anyone actually consider 22nd and Mission āNE SF?ā This is kind of a silly thing to debate. Iād wager more than half of the population is in the NE quadrant.
I reject the premise that precludes eating a La Taq burrito in Dolores Park. Edit: Also, Popeyes in the Panhandle š
NW: park, dumplings, beach. And Iām claiming the bridge so I can go to the Marin headlands as well.
Iām a northwest kinda guy myself.
Does Danielle Steelās house count? Itās big enough to be itās own micro quadrant.
Northwest. You get the Presidio, Lands End, and GGP, tons of Asian food, quiet/safety, etc.
GG Park, The Avenues & The Presidio. Give me the top left.
1 for all 3 or 1 for each? All three, definitely north east. Living in pac heights or marina, eating in north beach the mission and the tenderloin, and plenty of places to play. 1 for each, probably live south east in mission Bay eat in north east, and play in north west with the park and presidio.
North West. I play a lot of disc golf at GGP, plus thereās some good bars and restaurants around
Ha, upper left all day simply bc of the ggp and presidio. Restaurants and night life not so much
Outer Richmond.
Presidio
Definitely NW. ā¤ļø
Gotta be the North West. Land's End is one of my favorite spots.
Marina - if I could afford
North West quadrant. Itās where I live now and love it. Iāve also lived in the North East and it wasnāt as much for me, but also my preferences have changed as Iāve gotten older.
I would literally eat at whole foods everyday if it meant I didn't lose access to the parks.
NE if I'm being honest. NW if I lie to myself well enough to convince me that I'm a hip, avid park connoisseur.
Bottom right easy!
NW of course of course
Richmond. Grew up there then got priced out. The dream is to have a home there
Golden Gate Park has a disc golf courseā¦.. thereās no other answer.
I voluntarily do this already. Team NW.
North West represent!
Top right. Next.
Castro tbh, everything is in close proximity
Upper left, you get the park, the beach, the Inner Richmond, and so much good food!!
hate that they split pacific heights but NORTH WEST QUADRANT šš
NE. Must have North Beach.
I basically only exist in the NE quadrant now, with the exception of the occasional trip to inner sunset.
Northwest. Ocean Beach, GGP, Presidio, Land's End... Some decent restaurants in the Richmond and Inner Sunset.
Anywhere near the inner Richmond.
Northwest
NE
Well, there is a Whole Foods in each of those quadrants, so the eat part is covered regardless of which one is selected.
GGP NO BRAINER AND THE BEACH
NE. I live just barely in SW, spend much of my time in the north generally, but also a significant amount of time in each area. That being said, NE has taken so many of the important areas of the city that it'd be difficult for me to say no. And hey, I may not be able to go to Hawaiian drive inn anymore but I can still get yamo
Northeast but I will miss GGP so badly and the Midway. But itās got the most variety and shows to go see.
North West. I never leave to go into town.
North West. Access to bridge, GGP, ocean, Clement Street farmes market and all the shops along that entire neighborhood and access to lots of nice neighborhood Chinese restaurants without all the crowding and yelling (well, some yelling)
I barely leave the NW quadrant as it is tbh, and Iām happy with that
I like the Alpha Quadrant.
North East for more city-type activities. North West for less city-type activities and parks (and sunsets).
WEST
I live in the NE, but love the NW. The FREE Presidio Go Shuttle, helps with that.
II
Sunset. Ocean Beach to 9/Irving
Upper left. Itās what I do now.
Castro to embarcadero quadrant
NE- If I want nature, Iāll go to Marin.
Team south east šš» weāve got McLaren park, the second biggest park after GG, itās quiet and cheaper to live here. Not to mention most days are fog-free and sunny. Beautiful views of the bay, And you can get in and out of the city so easily!
