The best SF neighborhoods for early-stage founders
Rank commute, room quality, budget, transit, groceries, nighttime comfort, and access to the people you meet most. Then tour a few neighborhoods at the hours you will live there, not only during a sunny afternoon.
Avoid buying a neighborhood reputation. A direct route to work and a quiet room can beat a famous startup block with high rent and poor sleep. Check whether you can walk home, buy food, and work from a backup space without friction.
Your company’s needs will change. Choose a home that leaves options open.
