The 23 neighborhoods in San Francisco where you'd pay $1 million or more for a home
San Francisco ain't huge — the whole city fits into 49 square miles. But if you squint at this map, you can see that there are lots of little neighborhoods within neighborhoods, all over the city.
San Francisco's Outer Richmond district covers most of the northwest corner of the city, out to the Pacific Ocean. Homes here averaged a cool $1 million.
On the other side of Golden Gate park from the Outer Richmond district is the Outer Sunset, which is similarly quiet, with great access to the rest of the city via streetcar. Homes here had a median price of $1,035,000.
Maybe it's nostalgia for the Summer of Love, but the Haight Ashbury district is still one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods. The median selling price here is $1,042,500. A little south of Haight Ashbury is Ashbury Heights, with an even richer median price of $1,350,000.
Potrero Hill offers easy access to downtown San Francisco — plus, it's high enough up that you get these amazing views of the skyline. Homes here cost a median of $1,133,500.
San Francisco's super-hip Mission District is majorly desirable among young people, especially. Homes and condos here carry a median price of $1,174,500.
The once-bohemian Western Addition is home to lots of San Francisco's greatest cultural centers, including legendary concert venue The Fillmore. Gentrification has changed the makeup of the neighborhood considerably over the years. Homes go for around $1,155,000.
The neighborhood of Parkside holds the distinction of having the most parks per capita than anywhere else in San Francisco. It even hosts the annual Stern Grove Music Festival, in one of its biggest parks. All that green space costs homebuyers an average of $1,168,000.
Twin Peaks is the highest residential area in San Francisco, and the second highest point in the city overall. Despite a lack of public transit up here, it's smack in the center of the city, so check out the stunning view. Homes here can cost $1,193,000.
Rincon Hill has one of the most turbulent histories of any San Francisco neighborhood: One of the city's earliest and trendiest neighborhoods, it was decimated in the Earthquake of 1906. It spent some time as a warehouse district, and is now a high-density residential area. Homes and condos here average $1,197,500 .
Nob Hill is one of San Francisco's oldest neighborhoods. It gets its name from the California railroad barons, or "Nobs," who built their mansions here. It's still a very upscale neighborhood, with homes going for $1.2 million on average.
The Castro district is perhaps best known for its role in the history of gay rights, and it's also got a lot of charming old houses. Homes here can go for $1,201,000.
Mission Bay has a few things going for it: A campus of the University of San Francisco, nice weather and close proximity to public transit. Homes here can go for $1,345,000, and there are lots of condos.
The Lower Haight may not have as much history as its neighbor in Haight Ashbury, but it definitely has a character all its own. Plus, it's easier to get to work. Homes here can cost $1,360,000.
Forest Hill is a quiet, almost suburban neighborhood that requires all residents to be part of its homeowners association. It's also where several of San Francisco's subway lines begin. Homes here can go for $1.4 million.
The chic Hayes Valley neighborhood is conveniently located very near the offices of companies like Twitter and Spotify, meaning that the already-considerable development is starting to accelerate. Homes here can cost $1.4 million as well.
In 2014, Redfin named Bernal Heights the hottest neighborhood in America. It's quiet, residential, and safe. But it's also a hop, skip, and jump away from Mission nightlife and downtown's serious business. Homes here can cost just a hair over $1.4 million.
Miraloma Park is the neighborhood that's (confusingly) bordered by San Francisco's Glen Canyon Park, one of the city's hidden treasures. Homes here go for $1,525,000 .
The Inner Richmond and Inner Sunset districts have a lot of the same qualities as their further-out brethren, mentioned above. But they're closer in, and they have a more active night life, so they both command higher median home prices: around $1.55 million in each neighborhood.
Noe Valley is so popular with affluent families, it has the unofficial nickname "Stroller Town." It also happens to be where Carlos Santana grew up. Plus, it's home to some of the nicest, newest houses in town. Homes here can cost $1,825,000.
Russian Hill is the second-most-expensive neighborhood in San Francisco. It's famous for its record-breakingly crooked section of Lombard Street, but it's also a wealthy neighborhood with some of the city's oldest houses. Homes here go for over $2 million.
Pacific Heights boasts famous residents like PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, and politician Nancy Pelosi. It's also where the house from "Mrs. Doubtfire" sits. Homes here go for $2,137,500, making it the priciest neighborhood in San Francisco.
