MISSION · BERNAL HEIGHTS · POTRERO HILL · NOE VALLEY · BAYVIEW/HUNTER'S POINT · EXCELSIOR · VISITATION VALLEY
Sheltered by surrounding hills, San Francisco's interior valleys are the city's warmest, sunniest neighborhoods. The Mission and Noe Valley regularly reach the high 70s and occasionally 80s°F in summer, while fog burns off quickly. Clay-heavy soils hold moisture in winter but bake dry in summer. This is the closest SF comes to classic California Mediterranean conditions.
