San Francisco Neighborhood Guide
Learn about some of the many unique San Francisco Neighborhoods: Marina District, Cow Hollow, Russian Hill, Telegraph Hill, North Beach, Union Square, South of Market (SOMA), South Beach, Nob Hill, Haight Ashbury, Panhandle, Golden Gate Park, Castro, Mission District, Richmond, Sea Cliff, Potrero Hill, Pacific Heights, Financial District, North Panhandle (NoPa), China Town
Marina District / Cow Hollow
Between modern and historic, you find everything in this neighborhood. The beautiful homes coexist with trendy restaurants, bars and much more. It’s a perfect mix between the vibration of the nightlife and the calm emitted by the Bay and the park. There’s also the “Marina Green”, a 74-acre park with great views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. A must-see in this neighborhood is the Palace of Fine Arts and the Exploratorium!
Russian Hill
This residential neighborhood gathers trendy restaurants, amazing shops and nightspots. You can get off the cable car at the top of Lombard Street, enjoy the gorgeous views of the City and especially Coit Tower and then follow the curve of the Crookedest street!
Telegraph Hill – North Beach
Telegraph Hill is one of the quietest areas in San Francisco, well-known for its many gardens and views from Coit Tower. North Beach, primarily a residential neighborhood, is the home of the famous San Franciscan baseball player Joe DiMaggio. Restaurants and nightlife spots thrive in this area of town, referred to as the Italian Neighborhood or Little Italy. While Telegraph Hill is pretty quiet, North Beach is quite loud and busy.
Union Square
For the shopping lovers, Union Square is THE best place to be in San Francisco. World-renowned luxury retailers, sophisticated art galleries and elegant hotels attract locals and tourists from all over the globe.
SOMA / South Beach
Lovers of museums will enjoy this area. This modern neighborhood of San Francisco, located to the south of Market Street (therefore explaining its name SOMA), gathers among others, the MOMA, the Jewish museum, MOAD the museum of the African Diaspora and many restaurants, bars and nightlife hot spots. Here you will find warehouses converted into lofts, modern high-rise condos, and of course AT&T ballpark, home of the San Francisco Giants, winners of the 2010 World Series.
Nob Hill
This residential traditional San Francisco neighborhood will give you a great glimpse on many of San Francisco’s landmarks. Take the cable-car to climb the very steep hills. Explore and discover some of San Francisco’s best hotels, the luxurious Fairmont and Mark Hopkins, savor amazing cuisine, and visit Grace Cathedral and wander its indoor and outdoor labyrinths.
Haight-Ashbury / Panhandle / Golden Gate Park
Haight-Ashbury is the true representation of the ’60s hippie culture. You can find fragments of this long-gone area everywhere, in shops and in buildings. Tattoo parlors, head shops, thrift stores and art galleries flourish in this dynamic neighborhood. You are also steps away from several lush parks: Buena Vista Park, the Panhandle and of course the mythic Golden Gate Park. Located at the east entrance of Golden Gate Park, the Panhandle is almost one mile long. This green park offers beautiful paths for bikers and walkers, a basketball court and a playground. Golden Gate Park is a verdant heaven in San Francisco for those who want to picnic, jog, play soccer or drum. It hosts many museums and must-see places: the Academy of Sciences, Japanese Tea Garden, De Young museum, Conservatory of Flowers, etc. Twin Peaks Twin Peaks is a residential neighborhood, a short distance away from the heart of the city. On the top of the hill, the second highest point in San Francisco, you can enjoy fabulous 360 degree views of the whole city!
Castro
San Francisco’s own gay village, one of the largest and best-known worldwide, runs on Castro Street from Market Street to 19th Street. This safe and clean neighborhood features the popular and original Castro Theater as well as many boutiques and special clothing shops. Shopping here is a must-do, as you can find items not often available anywhere else.
Mission District
San Francisco’s oldest building, the Mission San Francisco de Asis, gave the City its name. Located between Castro and Noe Valley to the west and Potrero Hill and U.S. 101 to the east, “The Mission” is a mix of trendy restaurants and boutiques as well as traditional, historical cafes and stores of the Latin culture. Famous for introducing Mexican food to Americans, the Mission is the original home of the San Francisco burrito. Enjoy Dolores Park, especially in the summer, and watch the locals play tennis, basketball, BBQ, etc. There is also a large children’s playground and a dog play area. Another must-see in the Mission are the murals: more than 600 different murals painted on the walls of buildings and residential houses.
Richmond / Sea Cliff
In this residential area you’ll find a mix of different homes, from turn-of-the-century Edwardians to the most modern of apartment complexes and mansions, as well as some of the last cabins that survived the 1906 earthquake. The most surprising and most infamous site is the Black House, a black and purple Victorian owned by Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan, who is said to have performed Satanic rituals at that location. Sea Cliff is an exclusive community featuring gorgeous properties, some of them used as retreats for celebrities.
Potrero Hill
The “sunniest” neighborhood of San Francisco refers to this hill, located east of the Mission and South of SOMA. Potrero means “pasture” in Spanish. This quiet area is isolated by freeways and an industrial landscape, which gives this neighborhood a feeling of distance from main and central San Francisco. Potrero Hill is also the home of San Francisco’s famous Anchor Steam Brewery.
Pacific Heights
Between school and shopping, Pacific Heights is still today one of the most prestigious neighborhoods and has been featured in many movies and television shows. This fancy area offers spectacular views of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. Fillmore Street serves as the neighborhood’s shopping and dining street, and every year hosts a Jazz festival.
Financial District
The name says it all: this is the heart of the economy of San Francisco. After the California Gold Rush, this area boomed. With its many historic office buildings and modern skyscrapers, the Financial District hosts headquarters of numerous companies and organizations. Sunset Known for its foggy weather, most San Franciscans love this neighborhood, which is close to Ocean Beach. What they like about this culturally diverse neighborhood is that it is more like a small town within the City. Many families with children live in this area, as well as UCSF graduate students.
Alamo Square / North Panhandle (NoPa)
Alamo Square is a residential area surrounding a park of the same name. Featuring the world-renowned Painted Ladies, a row of classic Victorian houses, Alamo Square is a very popular destination for tourists and locals. The up-and-coming North Panhandle is one of the trendiest neighborhoods of San Francisco with many modern bars and restaurants along Divisadero.
Chinatown
Welcome to China! Right in the heart of San Francisco, near Union Square and the Financial district you will find one of the largest Chinese areas outside of Asia. Many typical and authentic Chinese markets and restaurants can be found in this residential area. A definite must-see is the original fortune cookie factory. While Stockton Street is the tourist spot with many souvenir shops, Grant Street is the “traditional” and more authentic part of Chinatown where locals buy products in open-air markets. So, be open-minded for another culture and take a trip to Chinatown!

Landlord’s Benefits of Hiring a Property Leasing Professional
Wondering why it’s better to work with a professional Property Leasing Professional to rent out your place?
When it comes to property leasing many landlords try to find tenants themselves instead of hiring a leasing specialist. They price their rental based on the price they think their property is worth. Without having any experience of the rental market, they take some pictures and write a short property description themselves to market their property.
The advantage these landlords see is that they do not have to pay a leasing agent’s fee. But what they fail to realize is that wrong pricing and marketing efforts often cause landlords to lose income due to property vacancy time. Furthermore the lack of ability to professionally screen an applicant might result in poor quality tenants.
Property leasing services
Working with a professional leasing agent could prevent landlords from long property vacancy time or renting to unqualified tenants.
- Property analysis, representatives perform an on-site market value assessment based on many variables to determine a rent price
- Property marketing, target marketing and advertising with digital photos and property description on numerous rental websites, company website, social media and to existing clientele.
- Applicant screening, contacting current and former landlords, procure an extensive credit check on each applicant and do an income or employer’s verification
- Lease execution and negotiation
The landlord will retain the final decision in approving the tenant. A leasing agent will frequently update the landlord on the status of its rental property or prospective applicants, and what marketing strategies are being developed and used to fill any vacancy, and secure a qualified tenant.
Benefits of hiring a property leasing specialist
- Licensed and experienced professional agent with an extensive affiliate network
- Professional advertising with experienced marketing strategies
- Intensive applicant screening to find qualified tenants
- Up to date with the rental market, trends and laws
- A real estate professional will help you understand the local and state rental laws
- Compliance with all equal housing laws
- Professional lease execution and negotiation
- Tax deductible leasing fee
- Electronic signature services
- Property is being marketed and advertised at not cost
- Leasing fee paid once the property owner agrees to accept a tenant
- More personal time; leasing agent will take all calls, arrange appointments and showings
- Owner favorable lease

Award-Winning AMSI Real Estate Agent Jenine Atencio Caucutt Shares Her Success Story
AMSI Real Estate Agent Jenine Atencio Caucutt has been awarded Leasing Agent of the Year 2016 by the San Francisco Apartment Association.
Jenine Atencio Caucutt has been awarded Leasing Agent of the Year 2016 by the San Francisco Apartment Association. Now we’ve asked her to share her success story with us.
“I’m one of those people who believe all things are connected. If I stay true to myself, show heart, try not to judge, stay focused on my goals and share my gifts then things always work out for the best!”

Tell us a bit about yourself. When did you join AMSI and what do you specialise in?
I grew up in Denver, Colorado and have lived in San Francisco since 2004. I’ve worked with AMSI since then with the exception of a 2-year period from 2013-2015 to move to Nashville. I focus on leasing and corporate housing sales.
What do you enjoy the most about your job and working with AMSI?
AMSI is such a great place to be and the broker Robb Fleischer is the best! There are so many great people here. It’s easy to get inspired by each of my team member’s gifts. The company model enables each agent to excel in a variety of capacities. If you like to work with property owners, real estate sales and leasing are good for you. If you excel in a more structured sales environment then corporate housing sales is good for you. Throughout the years with AMSI I discovered that my skills and connections align with both worlds so I like to engage in both.
Why do you believe Robb is “the best”? How did Robb contribute to your success journey?

Robb is consistent in teaching his team that all challenges are really an opportunity. He is supportive in our efforts as agents and he also inspires us by helping us to see how we can be creative in each deal. Robb has taught me that real estate is really a creative endeavor. On one occasion, Robb demonstrated to me that sometimes we have elegant transactions and sometimes we have clunky transactions, almost like a dance. That conversation totally re-framed how I look at real estate!
What is your key to success?
Consistency and follow through are important to me. I also try to push myself to learn new strategies, stay current with industry trends and technology as much as I can.
What is your motto in life?
I’m one of those people who believe all things are connected. If I stay true to myself, show heart, try not to judge, stay focused on my goals and share my gifts then things always work out for the best!
How did it feel to take the Leasing Agent of the Year 2016 Trophy home?
It felt great!
Clients love working with you. What do you believe makes you so special and unique?
I bring heart and integrity to my work. I make it a priority to really hear my client’s objectives and deliver accurate and up-to-date information on current market conditions so we can determine the best strategy to achieve their goal quickly.
You lived in Nashville for a while during your 2-year break with AMSI. What pulled you back to San Francisco?
I love both cities! At the end of the day San Francisco is hard for any city to measure up to. It’s visually stunning, culturally rich and there are so many opportunities here.
Which neighbourhood in San Francisco defines you the most and what do you like about it the most?
That’s tough. One of the things I love most about working in real estate in San Francisco is that I have the opportunity to get to know and enjoy all of the unique neighborhoods in the city. Each of them has something special, which is the beauty of San Francisco.
