"The center of Business in San Francisco"

Montgomery street in downtown San Francisco is a great place to find business people. The sidewalks are either filled with tourist or people walking to places to eat at their lunch break. The streets are also chaotic with buses, cars, and trucks all day. Montgomery street also has a BART station underground that is perfect for commuters to get to and from work really fast. If you stand on the street and just look up, all you can see are extremely tall buildings that look over 100 stores high. A great place to see is not that far away when your at Montgomery street.

"Great place to find latino food"

Mission street has great Latio food that anyone with a spicy craving and enjoy. With all these good places to eat, Mission street still has its bad parts. Mission street smells like urine when I walk there and has a lot of homeless people on the streets. The road condition is really bad because of all the pot holes and the sidewalk is not any better. The houses there are mostly all apartments and are so small. The city really needs to help clean up this part of the city. This is not the first place I would direct a tourist to go to if this were this first time coming to San Francisco.

"A lot of beautiful houses"

Lake street in the Richmond District in San Francisco is visually stunning. All the houses on Lake street look like they just popped out of a movie. They give this urban city a good suburban feel. Just a couple blocks down from Lake street is the awesome Baker Beach. A quick jog from Lake street and you can enjoy the nice quiet beach. Even without parks, or places of entertainment, I strongly suggest visiting here. The houses all have lawns that are beautiful and tall trees that always look green. Lake street is a great place to go to if you just want some peace and quiet.

"Great places to eat dinner"

Taravel street is a sight to see everyday. Taravel provides locals and tourist to see a great part of San Francisco and sample great oriental cuisine. I have come to this street a lot to eat lunch with friends or dinner with family. The L line runs through Taravel street all day long so getting to places on these streets is really easy. There are not as many houses as other street close by. This is a really popular street in San Francisco and cars drive on it everyday. If you haven’t visited Taravel street yet, you should go and dine there.

"Many cars and a great view of the park"

Sunset Street is extremely long and the #29 bus line runs through it. Sunset street stretches from Golden Gate Park all the way to the Stonestown Galleria. On the sidewalk of most of the street, is dirt and rocks. The city really needs to pave the sidewalk there because it’s disgusting to walk there on a rainy day. Rain plus dirt equals smelly and muddy shoes when you get home. A lot of cars drive here because it connects the Sunset District to the Richmond District in San Francisco. This street can get pretty dangerous at nights because of the lack of street lights.

"Just a quiet and friendly street"

Lawton Street in the Sunset District is mostly quiet and boring. There is Lawton Middle School, but as I know, there is pretty much nothing there. The houses there look almost exactly the same. All of the houses are white outside and small. There are no restaurants, parks, entertainment centers, etc. No bus line runs through Lawton Street and the streets are mostly empty all the time. When I drove by there, I saw beautiful lawns and nice small gardens in front many houses, but that is about it. I can’t find anything interesting about the street and is not worth going to in my opinion.

"A great shopping center close to home!!!"

Masonic street is a great place for a place with great shopping. At the Masonic Shopping Center, the stores include; Best Buys, Mervyn’s, Subway, etc. On the other side of the street, there is a Trader’s Joe that is very big. And tell the truth, who doesn’t like a good organic grocery store close to home. Just like other streets in San Francisco, they are always busy with both students going to and from school and cars waiting for the stop light all day. If anyone just wants to get some organic foods or buy some electronics, Masonic street is a definite place to come to.

"Very nice houses!!"

Spruce street is another street in San Francisco that has many beautiful houses. Even though these houses are beautiful, they are all really small. There are a lot of trees on the sidewalk but barely any street lights. Many people drive by here everyday and do not recognize it. This is because there is nothing that really catches you attention here. This street doesn’t really show to true San Francisco street, but not all the streets can do that. If anybody wants to see nice small houses, I recommend visiting this street, but if you don’t, then I do not recommend going here.

"Always busy and right next to Kaiser"

Divisidero Street is makes a driver feel like they are in Downtown San Francisco. Just like downtown San Francisco, Divisidero street is always busy with cars day and night. Also with a combination of buses, pedestrians, cars, etc. equals complete chaos in the afternoon. If anyone tries to drive here, good luck because there are so many other cars. There is an “island” between the street and the sidewalk that has a lot of plants on it. Also it’s great for pedestrians if they can’t quite make it to the other side of the street. With a great ham bakery, you must visit this street.

"Nothing to get all excited about"

Presidio Street is a small street that doesn’t really have anything. Presidio street has no trees on the sidewalk, always busy, with no restaurants to go to. The only store on this street is an Office Depot that is really big. Presidio Street is really not that worth going to, because there is really nothing interesting here unless you want to get some office supplies. The actual streets are not in good condition, because of the pot holes that need to be fixed immediately. There are also no street lights on this street, so it’s not all that safe to walk on either.

"Always filled with cars day and night"

Stanyan street is a great place to come and visit. Usually busy during the afternoon; Stanyan street has a great Mexican restaurant at a very affordable price. Along with the restaurant, are wine shops, gas stations, and a gym. A lot of people do not walk on the streets but if your driving, this street takes you directly to Golden Gate Park. I think of Stanyan street as another urban street because of no housing and a lot of businesses. If your searching for a house, I don’t prefer coming here. But if you want to work out or just stop for some gas, this is the right place.

"A fun and intersting place to visit"

Arguello Street in the Richmond District of San Francisco is another busy street during rush hours. On the street there is Roosevelt Middle School that is one of the top public middle schools in San Francisco. Along the sidewalk are as much trees as there are houses. The blocks of Arguello are longer than you average San Francisco street. Cars drive on this street all day and night and the # 33 bus line runs on it. With many corner stores and gas stations here, it’s like you stop and shop for all those busy people in a rush.

"always busy and never quiet"

Market street in downtown San Francisco is like an outdoor mall. There is a the Westfield Mall on Market Street, but just on the streets are so many stores ranging from retail to restaurants. Many bus lines can get you here for example, the 38, 31, 5, 71, etc. Not only are there bus lines on the street, but there are some that get you there from underground. These bus-trains include, the N, M, L, and much more. Market Street has live music everyday that give you a good feeling of when you come downtown San Francisco.

"Great shopping and a lot of tourist"

Powell Street in downtown San Francisco is one of the most popular tourist destinations when they come to visit. Powell Street has stores right next door to each other. There are no houses around this area and usually hard to drive, because the streets are always filled with people. Usually people walk to around Powell street due to popular stores right next to one another. I think that a lot of people do not drive because of lack of parking. Of course there are parking lots, but usually they are filled up in the morning by employees that work in all the stores.

"great shopping and the zoo!!!"

Sloat street is super busy all the time and has a great shopping center on 25th and Sloat. On 46th and Sloat there is also the San Francisco Zoo that is absolutely riveting. With so much to do on this street, where can you go wrong? The streets are very wide so many cars drive there and a must for tourist to see if they come. On the sidewalk there are huge trees that tower like buildings. The pavement is stunning and always clean. Definitely if anybody who hasn’t visited Sloat street yet, you should just go and look at the mall of the zoo.

"Sometimes busy and sometimes not"

Noriega Street is a semi busy street. The #71 bus line runs along Noriega Street all day and night. I have been to Noriega street a couple times and love to restaurants there. There are not only places to dine, but also parks and recreation area for everyone to enjoy. The houses are really nice and big, but they all look exactly the same. If your looking for a certain house on this street; good luck. There are not many things to remember Noriega street by, because its pretty much boring. Unless your going there to eat or to a nice park, not worth visiting.

"Nothing all that exciting here"

Kirkham street is really quiet and uninteresting street. The houses on this street do not compare to the other houses on streets near by. There are no bus lines that run through it to help people get around and there are no places to eat. The roads there are not that nice and it gets scary at nights with little or no street lights on some streets. Driving on the street one day, I found it to be depressing and wonder; how can anybody live here? Kirkham street is not worth looking visiting because it doesn’t describe the beauty of San Francisco.

"Quiet but worth visiting"

Judah Street is a very long street that has a lot of nice houses. All day and night the N Judah line runs along the street to provide transportation for anyone trying to get somewhere in a hurry. I use to live on this street and love the bakeries and shops that were so close to home. On every street there is at least one tree that make San Francisco so beautiful. Usually quiet and not all that interesting, Judah street is not as memorable as other streets in San Francisco, but it’s still worth a visit to enjoy the less hectic part of the city.

Usually there is no parking here and people jay walk all the time. The streets of Irving are always complete chaos in the afternoons and during rush hour.

"Right next to the Park!"

Lincoln Way is a great street to get instant access to Golden Gate Park. This street provides locals and tourist a great view of the city in another way. The streets are filled with people walking all the time; it’s a real busy street. Many bus lines run all day including the 29, 71, etc. The sidewalk is not exactly is best, due to lack to pavement in certain areas. Lincoln Way is a great place to take children to see the magnificent park and is just a great to go jogging. There are a lot of tress everywhere and not many plant shrubs by the side of the road. Lincoln Way shows a rural side of this urban city.

"A great view of the beach is right here"

Great Highway has a beautiful view of the ocean and great seaside restaurants. Great Highway must be miles long and a tourist favorite when they come to visit San Francisco. The houses along Great Highway are mostly condos that are small. This is a great place to ride bikes or jog at on a hot and sunny day outside. A couple steps off the sidewalk of Great Highway and you are on the beach . During the winter time, its gets really cold on the street and mostly all you see is fog out the window. Sometimes a joy or just gray skies, theses are all the beauties of this street.

"Great places to eat all day and night"

Clement street is a great place to visit if you want to find true Asian markets in San Francisco. Clement street has many oriental restaurants for locals to come and eat for a celebration. Or for tourist to try cuisine from many places throughout Asia. Not only are there places to eat, but there are parks, recreation centers, medicine shops, etc. the #2 bus line runs along Clement Street day and night for transportation. I don’t recommended raising a family here due to lack of street lights and many cars on the streets day and night. This street is a sight to be seen.

"Close to Golden Gate Park; a hidden beauty"

Fulton Street is both quiet and mysterious. This street has barely any stop signs so you can go so smoothly down the street. Fulton is so close to Golden Gate Park that it’s a bit scary. At night there are not a lot of street lights on, homeless people walking on the street, and little to no sound heard. Some may like to peaceful sound, but San Francisco is an urban city with many cars. There are some parts on Fulton street that have no paved sidewalk and it’s really gross to walk there when there was heavy rainfall the day before.

"Nothing all that special"

Cabrillo Street is a street known for its infamous Cabrillo Park. The streets are filled with trees and the pavement on the sidewalk is magnificent. There is also Cabrillo Elementary School on 25th and Cabrillo that is perfect for new families to enroll their children too. The streets are usually not as busy as other streets close to it and there is no bus like that runs along it. There are also too many stop signs for drivers who are going somewhere in a hurry. But even with too many stop signs and no bus line; Cabrillo street is still beautiful with many big houses.
