tenderloin
Sometimes preceded by its rough and rowdy reputation, the Tenderloin is home to a close-knit community of families, artists, activists, non-profits and entertainment venues. The neighborhood’s proximity to Downtown and SoMa make it an attractive option for young professionals who work in those areas and appreciate an urban on-the-go lifestyle. Housing is primarily in the form of rent-controlled apartments and single-room occupancies, making it ideal for those preparing to settle in a more traditional neighborhood.

Boedekker Park features indoor and outdoor recreation space. Green space and community gardens are found throughout the Tenderloin including Demonstration Gardens, Tenderloin People’s Garden, and Tenderloin National Forest — a colorful and verdant oasis. Sergeant Macaulay Park and Turk-Hyde Mini-Park – which cater to younger children — recently completed major renovations.
Independent grocers, neighborhood bodegas, and small eateries dot the neighborhood. Every Sunday and Wednesday, the Heart of City Farmers’ Market in United Nations Plaza is San Francisco’s only independent, farmer-operated non-profit farmers’ market.
