Local Perspective 

“District 9 is San Francisco at its most expressive. There’s an authenticity here that you can’t manufacture—the architecture, the food, the art, the people, and the history all contribute to its character. Bernal Heights adds another dimension, offering a more residential setting while keeping the energy of the Mission close by.”
