Discover District 10: San Francisco’s Hidden Gem for Living, Dining, and Investing.

Tucked away on the southeastern edge of San Francisco, District 10 is fast becoming one of the city’s most exciting and accessible neighborhoods for homebuyers and investors alike. Once the industrial heartbeat of San Francisco, this area—bordered by Interstate 80, Interstate 280, and the shimmering San Francisco Bay—has transformed into a hub of growth, diversity, and opportunity.

From affordable homes and lush parks to a growing dining scene and unbeatable commute access, District 10 truly has it all.

A District Full of Promise

District 10 offers something few San Francisco neighborhoods can: space, affordability, and community. Whether you're exploring Bayview, Visitacion Valley, Crocker Amazon, or the Excelsior, each enclave offers its own charm and character.

The area features a rich mix of 1950s-era single-family homes, duplexes, and rental properties—many of which remain far more attainable than other parts of the city. This makes District 10 an ideal entry point for:

  • First-time homebuyers

  • Real estate investors

  • Developers seeking high-upside properties

Where Lifestyle Meets Green Space

District 10 is a dream for those who want to live in San Francisco without sacrificing outdoor living. McLaren Park, the second-largest park in the city, is a neighborhood jewel. Enjoy:

  • Tennis & basketball courts

  • Baseball and soccer fields

  • Jogging and hiking trails

  • A public swimming pool

  • Kid-friendly playgrounds

  • The scenic Gleneagles Golf Course

Nearby, residents can also unwind or play at:

  • Crocker Amazon Playground

  • Balboa Park

  • Cayuga Park

  • Candlestick Point State Recreation Area, a stunning waterfront destination perfect for picnics, fishing, and coastal hikes

The Best of District 10 Dining

While District 10 maintains its authentic, residential feel, it’s also home to a growing culinary scene. In Bayview, a rising tide of locally owned cafés, soul food joints, breweries, and bakeries is transforming the neighborhood into a food-lover’s destination. Highlights include:

  • Radio Africa Kitchen – A cozy spot offering a rotating menu of African-California fusion cuisine.

  • Old Skool Café – A unique youth-run supper club that mixes social impact with seriously good eats.

  • All Good Pizza – A local favorite serving wood-fired pies in a relaxed, community-driven space.

  • Laughing Monk Brewing – Craft beer lovers will appreciate this spot’s diverse tap list and laid-back vibe.

Looking for a quick bite or a fresh coffee? From local panaderias in the Excelsior to international flavors in Visitacion Valley, District 10 offers authentic, affordable, and often under-the-radar eats that reflect its cultural richness.
