Walkable for a large American city, by degree some San Francisco neighborhoods feel a bit more urban than others, mixing residences above & around broad commercial corridors brimming with luxury boutiques, renowned restaurants & iconic store brands, all pulsing with plenty of locals & tourists.
Around the city are many hip & laid back historic neighborhoods with period Victorian and Edwardian buildings offering family-friendly options: condos, multi-family units, and single family homes, with the added benefit of pocket parks and a smattering of small neighborhood shops, bars & cafes.
The city's most exclusive and expensive old neighborhoods offer historic mansions mixed with highrise towers and modern co-op buildings, some with incredible vistas of the bay and the city, plus nearby parks and local shops & eats. Many places are well-attended to provide safety, security & privacy.
