Downtown South San Francisco is a walkable hub central to South City
Most locals refer to San Francisco simply as The City. South San Francisco, then, is reasonably known as South City. The shorthand is telling, for South San Francisco has much of what The City to its north offers and some of what it doesn't. A vast and beautiful wilderness in the form of San Bruno Mountain Park, part of the Santa Cruz Mountain Range, borders South San Francisco to the north, and the San Francisco Bay is visible from most places in this gently sloping small metropolis. Downtown South San Francisco is an L-shaped neighborhood of about 1 square mile, and it sits just under a mile south of the trailheads at San Bruno Mountain Park and nearly 2 miles west of the San Francisco Bay. Steep, sidewalk-lined streets connect residents to the city's two historic retail corridors: Grand Avenue and Linden Avenue.
Global eats, local markets and parks are within walking distance
Eater Magazine's list of Everywhere Worth Eating Between San Francisco and SFO (or San Francisco International Airport) includes three restaurants within a mile of any residence in Downtown South San Francisco. Little Lucca Sandwich Shop has some of the largest hoagies in the Bay Area. The magazine says The Night Market is a near-exact replica of the night markets in Hong Kong, from the ambiance to the food. This being California, you'll also find excellent Mexican food in the area, with Taqueria San Bruno being the local favorite. You can grow food in the South San Francisco Community Garden. There are a few ethnic markets Downtown and a Safeway under a mile west.
Orange Memorial Park, which is inside the neighborhood, has a renovated sports field and an aquatic center. Sign Hill Park, just a few blocks north, offers 30 acres of hiking with a hilltop view of the Bay, and peaks in the 2,500-acre San Bruno Mountain State & County Park rise to 1,300 feet.
From craftsam-inspired builds and bungalows to modern townhouses
There are some cool new modern townhouse constructions in the vicinity, but for the most part, bungalows, Craftsmans and some midcentury condominium buildings make up the housing stock of Downtown South San Francisco. Homes range from $750,000 to $1.5 million. Renovated Monterey bungalows with two bedrooms, arched entryways and one-car garages on smaller lots are on the market for $900,000. For $1.1 million, you'll find modular townhomes with modern wooden exterior details and four bedrooms.
South San Francisco Unified School District partners with Genentech
According to the Mayor's Office, South City is The Biotech Capital of the World. Biotech pioneer Genentech offers a pipeline to its workforce by partnering with local schools. The South San Francisco Unified School District received a B-plus from the school ranking website Niche. Genentech's partnership with the district is one reason why. The Science Garage is a 4-year biotech track in which students can pursue STEM opportunities with a concentration in biotech in a state-of-the-art facility on the campus of South San Francisco High School donated by the world's biggest biotech company. Not far, Spruce Elementary received a C from Niche and Parkway Heights Middle School received a B-minus.
Living near SFO, with access to major highways and a BART station
While Downtown South San Francisco is on the flight path of the nearby San Francisco International Airport, its proximity to the airport provides much convenience. State Route 101 runs along the eastern side of the neighborhood, leading north to the Golden Gate Bridge or south all the way to Los Angeles. Otherwise, residents can get from South City to anywhere in The City in under 20 minutes on the BART. Given the strong economy of South City, however, you may be able to bike to work, as most of the major biotech firms are within a mile or two.
