In general, anything to the south/east of 280 is not a very desireable place to live. Less safe, farther from things, less nice houses etc. That's generalizing

In general, anything to the south/east of 280 is not a very desireable place to live. Less safe, farther from things, less nice houses etc. That's generalizing of course, but its much more of a lower- and working-class area, and not where young tech people typically want to be living.
- nostrademons 13y agoIt looks like the listed apartment is in the Excelsior district. I've heard that the Excelsior is the up-and-coming hidden gem in SF; reasonably safe and yet rents haven't yet gone up. Transportation does suck, but I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes the hot yuppie area in a few years. (Somewhat un-PC thing that a real estate agent told me when I first moved to the Bay: "Go where the lesbians are. They tend to sniff out the best value in real estate, and when they move in, the neighborhood usually becomes more community-oriented, safer, and cleaner." I've heard a couple times that the Excelsior has recently developed a large lesbian population.)
