+1 for the mission. moved to a studio here 2 months ago (from Atlanta) and love the area. Amazing restaurants everywhere. tons of great coffee shops to work out of. Mission Beach Cafe, Four Barrel Coffee, Ritual Coffee Roasters. Bi-Rite market has amazing sandwiches (and the creamery has great ice cream). Delfina Pizzeria is fantastic. Frjtz has great fries (get the thai chili ketchup!). Limon has some nice bbq chicken appetizers and they know how to make a capirinha. Luna Park has holy-shit-amazing warm goat cheese fondue (and some great smores). Random mediterranean place on 16th & mission does great shwarma for a few bucks. A short walk up to hayes valley has Patxi's pizza, La Boulange and Samovar Tea Lounge, where you'll often find Kevin Rose.
However -
I'm in a good part of the mission (near dolores) and every other day there is new graffiti on my building, trash everywhere on the streets and broken glass here and there.

- mikeryan 16y agoSlight alternative to the Mission and SOMA are the Potrero Hill/Dogpatch neighborhoods in SF. Technically Dogpatch is a subset of Potrero that runs along third street from about 16th to 23rd, on the East side of 280. Still relatively unknown (Zynga and Digg have figured it out though) more residential and less crime - if you stay on the North side of Potrero Hill (the South side is mostly residential anyway), Dogpatch can be a bit more sketchy. Weather tends to be gorgeous and its actually got fairly easy street parking in most areas.(almost unheard of in SF), and it has a caltrain stop right in the middle of the area. For those looking for something a little less urban and more affordable then the Mission and SOMA this area is quite a gem.
