Anza street is a mostly residential street located in the Richmond district of San Francisco. This street tends to be a quiet street to live on and is generally pretty safe. George Washington High School intersects this street between 32nd and 30th avenues. This street within close walking distance and adjacent to many important streets in San Francisco including Geary Blvd., California street, and Fulton street. Anza street is located between Geary blvd. and Balboa street which are two highly urban and busy streets. This street is an overall nice street to raise a family because it is close to many schools and is surrounded by nice safe neighborhood.

Market street is essentially the main street in downtown San Francisco. There are a variety or stores, shops, and shopping centers located on market street. San Francisco's Westfield Shopping Center, which has a wide variety of shopping and dining options, is located on Market Street . Market Street has a variety of bus lines running through it and you can pretty much get anywhere in the city from this street. The only downside of this great street is that in some areas it is overpopulated with homeless people which takes away from it's natural beauty. Overall, Market street is a great place to do some shopping and do some sightseeing.

This short street is only about 5 blocks long and is located in the grand sea cliff district of San Francisco. However, it is also one of the most beautiful streets in the city. It is surrounded by gorgeous houses and mansions on both sides. One of Robin Williams houses is located on this street and is by far one of the most beautiful houses in the city. This street has a great view and an entrance to china beach which is a great place to relax on a nice summer day. Sea Cliff Ave. also has an entrance to Baker Beach which is a much larger beach than china beach. This avenue is essentially the premier place to live in San Francisco but is almost impossible to afford due to the immense prices of the mansions. Overall the street is quiet and peaceful with no stores or disturbances in sight. With it’s grand views of the bay, it provides the best place to live in San Francisco.

Arguello Blvd. is not a bad transportations street. For a small street, there are surprisingly many things on it. There is a school located on Arguello called Roosevelt Middle School. There is also a good pool located on Arguello which only charges 50 cents for admission. Arguello intersects Geary Blvd. and there are many stores on Geary Blvd. On the corner of Arguello and Geary, there is an office max and a Wells Fargo Bank. What I like most about this street is that it is one of the few vertical streets along the Richmond district to house its own bike lane. This street connects the Presidio to golden gate park which makes it an essential street for housing a bike lane. Overall this street is a great street to travel on by bike or car and it connects two of the best parks in the entire city.

Sloat blvd. is one of my favorite streets in the sunset District. It offers everything from a zoo, to a great view if lake Merced, and it even has it’s own shopping center. The San Francisco Zoo is one of the best in northern California and is worth a visit if you are near the stoat/ocean beach area. The area near it is great but occasionally it smells bad due to the waste of the zoo animals. The are near lake Merced however is much better. Lake Merced id one off the best placed in the city to go jogging or biking so if you like to exercise, this is a good area. The shopping center (Lakeshore) is a great place to hang around due to it’s variety of shops and places to eat. Overall Sloat blvd. is a good street to live on because there are many things along it path and it is a nice relaxing street.

Park Presidio blvd. is essentially just a transportation street located in the Richmond district that spans from golden gate park to lake street. This street is very similar to sunset blvd. in the sunset district in the fact that it serves mainly as a transportation street. There are no houses on either side of the street but instead trees. On the downside, on most intersections there are cameras so you have to be very cautious driving on this street not to accidentally run a yellow light too late and be snapped. This street is overall a fast street to connect you to the marina, the Richmond district, and the sunset district.

Irving street is filled with tons of great shops and restaurants. The span of Irving from 19th ave. to around 27th ave. is like a microcosm of Chinatown. It is filled with cheap Chinese dollar stores, grocery stores and cafes. My favorite restaurant of Irving has to be the sunrise deli located between 22nd and 23rd and Irving. This place serves a Mediterranean cuisine and is known to make the best Falafel in town. right across the street there is a Quickly's cafe. Another great stretch of streets along Irving is between 14th and 6th streets. This are is also known for its multitude of cafes and restaurants. On this stretch, I recommend the restaurant Plutos which is located around 9th ave. and serves a homemade style of cooking. There are also tons of cafes such as tart to tarte and Starbucks. This is overall one of the most energetic streets on Irving and is a great place to relax.

Judah can essentially take you anywhere in the city. The N line runs throughout all of Judah street and travels from ocean beach to downtown. Along it’s route, it passes several well known neighborhoods and even passes a hospital. This street is essentially a street with houses on both sides. I personally would think twice about living there because every 20 minutes or so, the N passes and it makes a loud noise which could get annoying over time. The area of Judah closer to ocean beach (46th street) isn't the best area due to the high vicinity of rowdy teenagers. However around that area are several good restaurants. My favorite being Thanh Long which if famous for it’s roast crab located on the corner of 46th and Judah. There are several other places to see and eat at but over all this is just a good street for transportation.

Sunset blvd. is the best street on which to travel through the Sunset district. It barely ever has any traffic and if you travel 35 mph then you are certain to hit a wave of green lights. This street is located between 36th and 37th avenues and doesn't have any houses surrounding it on either sides Rather it is surrounded by trees on both sides. The 29 line bus runs throughout all of sunset blvd. and is a great line on which you can get to practically anywhere in the city. The street has 6 lanes total (3 in each direction). All in all, its probably the best street on which to travel through the sunset.

This street runs through two districts. The sunset and the Richmond district. A majority of it however is on the sunset side. It crosses many Muni lines. For the Richmond district on Geary it crosses the 38/18 and on Fulton it crosses the 5. In the sunset district it crosses the N line on juDah and the L on Taravel. A great bus that runs along 46th ave. on the sunset side is the 18 line. This line will take you everywhere from Stonestown, to the zoo, and to the cliff house. On the sunset side, 46th ave. is located 3 blocks from ocean beach making it great spot for surfers or beach lovers. the houses in this area are moderately priced however once you reach the Richmond district, the houses on 46th go up in price. A great restaurant located on 46th and Judah is Thanh Long which is famous for it’s great crabs. Right across the street from the restaurant is a 7/11. Overall this street is a good street to live nearby because it connects you to the rest of the city with its variety of transportation options.

California street is a very long street that spans throughout several districts including the richmond district. One highlight of this street is the Jewish comunity center which is located on the corner of presidio and california. This is a great center to join if your looking for a fitness facility in the area. A great are to live is near the begining of the street aroud 33rd to 25th ave. This area is centered around seacliff and is a prime spot to go joging or exercising due to the nice surroundings.(its also a sweet spot to go trick or treating with your children on halloween). The 1 line is a great bus route that runs along california. A nice place to hang out on california street is between spruce and laurel where you an find shops and cafes such as starbucks, gap, and noahs bagels.

Geary Blvd is essentialy the main street in the richmond district and it is also my favorite. It is full of all sorts of russian shops including russian grocery stores, jewerly stores, and bakeries. This is prety much the heart of the russian comunity in san francisco. All along Geary Blvd run the 38 and the 38L lines which will take you from ocean beach and sea cliff all the way to downtown san francisco. There are also all sorts of different restaurants located along Geary. There are chinese, japanese, thai, french, and italian restaurants located all along the street. My favorite sushi restaurant in San francisco is located on 22nd and geary. There is a Quicklys(which is a tapioca drink cafe) that is located on 33rd and geary. There are even convienience/Pharmacy stores such as Wallgreeens and Rite Aid located right next to each other on 18th and 17th and geary. Right next to the rite aid is a blockbuster. Over all there is somthing for everyone to find on Geary blvd.

Clement is a great and energetic street. The stretch from arguello to 12th ave is sort of like a mini chinatown. It is is filled with all sorts of variety shops and restaurants. If you are looking for a great place to get dance lessons then clement is your street. A great dance academy is located between 5th and 6th avenues called Genesis dance sport academy. This school is home to Dancing with the Stars own Alec Mazo and Edita Slowinskaya so come on down thhere and get some lessons from them. There is also a Great Kung Fu academy on 7th and clement which I attend called Tat Wong. I can recomend a great mediterranean restaurant on the corner of 5th st. and clement called Troya. You can get around clement street on the number 2 bus which runs from 33rd and clement to the street’s end at arguello. The bus stops roughly every two blocks so It will take you close to any destination on the street but it is roughly a 20 minute wait for the bus to come. The section from 12th ave. to arguello also tends to be very crowded so I dont recomend biking or using any form of manual transportation on the crosswalk. It also tends to be hard to find parking along clement street and if you do find parking it will be on a parking meter which is why I recomend taking public transportation to get there. Over all this is a nice and energetic street to hang around and do some shoping at.
