I would love to live on Capp Street. It has everything you could want: closeness to the hipness of the Mission, but with reduced traffic and noise. It runs between two of the busiest streets in the area, Mission and South Van Ness, so it makes an excellent bicycling street.

This is a very nice high up street close to Buena Vista Park. It's in a very affluent part of town and is composed of mostly beautiful large houses with inspiring views of the Inner Sunset District. It's a very windy street and I wouldn't recommend living there without access to a car, since the closest bus is down a steep hill and there is not a whole lot of shopping in the area.

Olmsted is a quiet residential street in the Visitacion Valley Neighborhood, but bordering on the Portola District. It's intersected in the middle by the Metropolitan Arts and Technology High School, and is cut off on one end by McLaren Park, and on the other by San Bruno, just at the end of the business district. It's a quiet street that offers the closeness of San Bruno and a local high school, so I would recommend it for families seeking affordable housing options.

This is a strange diagonal street that connects the parallel Geary Blvd and Post St and lasts the entirety of one block. There are a few apartment buildings on the street, but since it's right next to the bustling traffic of Geary Blvd, it's probably pretty loud. There is a Walgreen's on the corner, so that's convenient, but other than that, it's pretty strange. I would love to know the history of why it's there.

Thomas Starr King was the first minister of the First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco, who's building takes up pretty much the entirety of this street. Coincidence? I think not. The street runs diagonally and connects Geary Blvd to O'Farrel, two streets that are parallel to each other. On the other side from the Unitarian Universalist Society is another church, Lutheran I think, that is really beautiful. Both buildings have been around for a while and have some pretty neat architecture.

This is a really short street in the Outer Mission area right next to Bernal Heights. It's very narrow and easy to miss. I biked right past it once when I was looking to take it from Mission St. to San Jose and had to ask for directions (nobody seemed to know exactly where it was). It has some cute houses, but is right next to San Jose Ave. where it starts to get busy, so I wouldn't recommend it for children.

Eugenia Ave. is a quiet street in the Bernal Heights neighborhood that doesn't connect all they way through by car. In between Prospect Ave. and Winfield St the street is only connected by a staircase! Otherwise it's a great residential street right parallel to Cortland Ave, the main drag of Bernal Heights. I'd also recommend it mostly to people who have car since the public transportation in this neighborhood is scarce.

I used to live on the corner of Nevada and Cortland, and I enjoyed it very much. It was close enough to the main drag of Bernal Heights, but still pretty quiet. The street itself is kind of an oddball for being a state-named street in Bernal Heights and not in Potrero Hill, where all the streets are named after states. It's also very steep; I used to bike up from Cortland Ave. to Jarboe St. everyday for work and that was definitively the steepest of my 3 mile commute.

Just off of Cortland Ave, Banks is a cute little residential street that climbs up Bernal Hill a little before stopping at Bernal Heighs Blvd. I used to live around the corner from this street and I have some friends who live there. I always feel comfortable walking there alone at night, but I haven't seen many neighbors out. The street is very quiet, and high enough on the hill to have a gorgeous view of the bay and the Bayview neighborhood to the west at night.

This is a hilly street just up the hill from the notoriously dangerous Sunnydale Housing projects. Starting at San Bruno and ending at Delta, this street is part of the low-income Visitacion Valley neighborhood. At the end of the street you'll find El Dorado Elementary School, and many of the families that live on Harkness have students who attend the school there, giving it a community feel. It's a steep climb from San Bruno and from Leland though, the two closest business streets.
