The South Beach neighborhood in San Francisco is bound by Washington Street and County Road, and covers an area of approximately 30 square blocks. Most of the homes in the neighborhood are single and double story, but more than 40 homes are architecturally significant. Beginning in 1877, waves of immigrants, primarily Irish, Italian, and Chinese newcomers, flooded this town, and settled here.

Today the neighborhood is home to a mix of students, young professionals, singles, and families. South Beach residents report that they feel safe in their neighborhood, and that although crime has increased recently, it is still relatively low. The streets are lined with beautiful homes, and the different streetscapes, the diverse group of residents, and the lively and vibrant sidewalks add to the hustle and bustle of this neighborhood. There are a lot of eating options in the area, many of them offering outdoor dining to take advantage of the beautiful city weather.
