Our Take
This part of San Francisco offers unbeatable walkability and top‑rated schools, but the price tag is sky‑high relative to the median income. You’ll enjoy a vibrant urban life and a short commute to downtown, yet you’ll pay a premium for housing, taxes, and everyday expenses. If you can afford the cost and thrive in a bustling city, it could work; otherwise consider more affordable alternatives.
