Explore median home sales prices across San Francisco neighborhoods with this interactive map. Click on any neighborhood to see current pricing data. Map updated regularly by Compass.
San Francisco home buyers wonder "what can I actually afford here?" and it's a fair question. The answer changes block by block in this city. Views, geography, elevation, busy streets, nearby transit stops, and a variety of other "hyperlocal" factors impact a property's value. Within any neighborhood, homes also vary by property type—single family homes, condos, tenancies-in-common (TICs), and stock cooperatives each have their own typical values and trends that relate to but remain independent of broader neighborhood patterns.
This interactive map gives buyers a realistic picture of what different San Francisco neighborhoods cost without the guesswork.
How to Use This Map
Click on any neighborhood to reveal the current median home sales price. The data reflects recent closed sales as tracked by Compass and is updated approximately three times per year to capture seasonal shifts and market momentum.
A few things to keep in mind as you explore:
Median prices show where the middle of the market sits, not the full range. In a neighborhood like Noe Valley, you might see a median around $2M, but that includes everything from compact condos to sprawling Victorians. The same story plays out in the Marina, Pacific Heights, and most SF neighborhoods—the spread within any area can be significant.
Property type matters as much as location. A single-family home in Bernal Heights and a condo in Bernal Heights are effectively two different markets. When you're evaluating affordability, filter by what you're actually shopping for.
Timing affects what you see. San Francisco real estate follows seasonal patterns. Spring typically brings more inventory and competitive pricing, while winter months often see fewer transactions that can skew medians in either direction.
San Francisco's Price Geography
The city's most expensive neighborhoods cluster in predictable areas: Pacific Heights, Presidio Heights, Sea Cliff, and the Marina consistently top the list, with median single-family home prices often exceeding $4M. These areas combine architectural character, views, and proximity to green space that commands premium pricing.
The southern and western neighborhoods—Sunset, Parkside, Excelsior, Outer Mission—offer more accessible price points, typically ranging from $1.2M to $1.8M for single-family homes. These areas have seen steady appreciation as buyers priced out of central neighborhoods look for value.
Mid-tier neighborhoods like Glen Park, Bernal Heights, Noe Valley, and Cole Valley occupy the $1.8M to $2.5M range and attract buyers seeking walkability, neighborhood character, and relatively more space than downtown alternatives.
What This Map Won't Tell You
No map captures everything. This tool shows you median pricing by neighborhood, but it won't reveal:
- Micro-neighborhood variations: The north slope of Potrero Hill prices differently than the south slope. East-facing Marina homes differ from west-facing ones.
- Condition and renovation status: A fully updated home and a fixer in the same neighborhood can differ by $500K or more.
- Off-market dynamics: Some of San Francisco's most desirable properties never hit the MLS.
- Condo vs. single-family splits: This map aggregates residential sales; individual property types within a neighborhood may trend differently.
For buyers serious about understanding a specific neighborhood, this map is a starting point. The next step is drilling into recent comparable sales, understanding days-on-market trends, and working with someone who knows the streets—not just the statistics.
Neighborhoods to Watch
Market conditions shift constantly, but a few San Francisco neighborhoods currently offer interesting dynamics for buyers:
Dogpatch and Potrero Hill continue to benefit from development momentum and relative affordability compared to the Mission and SoMa.
Inner Sunset and Inner Richmond attract families seeking space, good schools, and easier access to Golden Gate Park—often at prices below comparable Noe Valley or Glen Park homes.
Bayview-Hunters Point remains one of the city's most affordable areas with significant long-term investment in infrastructure and transit connectivity.
