The Inner Sunset

This neighborhood has it all. Great restaurant variety, shops, parklets, quirkiness, access to nature. Parking is ok. Transit is easy.

Overall, I love the inner sunset in San Francisco. I grew up here (since birth) and lived here for part of my adult life as well. I suppose I may have a soft spot for this area due to it basically being home to me. I still go back often as my mom lives here still.
It has changed over the years of course. It used to be less crowded overall and I recall being able to play pretty safely in the street as a kid. That is no longer the case (at least in my mom’s neighborhood) because way too many cars drive by and they drive way too fast too.
It is foggy here quite a bit of the time. It can be sunny downtown but still foggy here. I like the fog somewhat though; its comforting.
There are some decent restaurants in this area too. I have a few favorites.
The cost of living here isn’t cheap and its unlikely a regular person can afford to buy a house. Rents seem to go up and down though.

I lived in the Inner Sunset from the late 1970s until the mid-​1980s and loved the neighborhood.
There were so many local restaurants and shops, including a Swedish bakery on Irving Street near 9^th Avenue. The bakery was ousted by Starbuck’s and the neighborhood was less endearing afterward.
I could very easily live here again.

Really, Whats to say about the nicest, coolest and most chill area in the city?
Born here, initially, Irish, Now Asian and mix. Still idiots around, just like anywhere in the City but they are palatable here. Safe for a city of this size but keep your third eye on. Incredibly Quiet for you old farts or chill peeps like myself.
Family Friendly and near UC Med so lots of educated meat to entertain or go home with you. If you have game.
Seriously, My Opinion, The nicest place on earth next to Disneyland. Can be foggy a lot. Its called the Sunset for a reason.
F*#@ the Haters.

I’m starting to really really like this neighborhood. I live downtown and have ventured out here for. food! First there was Lime Tree, then Curry Village, then Sheng Kee bakery. I freaking love all those places! I’ve also enjoyed the feel of the neighborhood walking on the main strip of Irving and 9^th. I had originally wanted to live here due to cheaper rent, but just too far away from my work, which is right downtown. No worry, I’ll keep visiting this area. one of my favorites in SF!

Love this place.
