    South San Francisco (94080) blends fog-kissed hills and bayside trails with a down-to-earth, diverse community. Known for the hillside “The Industrial City” letters and a pioneering biotech scene around Oyster Point, it feels suburban yet industrious, with cool mornings, mild afternoons, and plenty of outdoor time on the Bay Trail, Sign Hill Park, and Orange Memorial Park. Grand Avenue offers murals, cafes, and Armstrong Brewing for low-key nights. Everyday convenience is strong: Safeway on Gellert, Costco, and Pacific Supermarket for groceries; Starbucks and neighborhood coffee spots; Little Lucca’s legendary sandwiches and the Basque Cultural Center for classic fare; the Orange Memorial Park Aquatics Center and local studios for fitness; and Westborough Square for shopping and bites. Getting around is easy with BART, Caltrain, SamTrans, and quick access to 101/280 and SFO. According to Zillow Market Trends in recent months, the median rent is about $3,200, with typical listings around $2,400–$4,200 depending on size. The area is family- and pet-friendly with playgrounds, a dog park, and ample green space.
