About SoMa

SoMa is the newest housing stock in San Francisco — mid- and high-rise buildings between Market, the Embarcadero, and Division, most built after 2010 with in-unit laundry, gyms, and doormen. Two-bedroom units split between two roommates are the standard arrangement, and you'll rarely find a four-bedroom share here.

Getting to work from SoMa

This is the shortest commute in the city: walking distance to most downtown and Mission Bay offices, with Montgomery and Powell BART, Caltrain at 4th and King, and every Muni Metro line converging under Market Street.

Who shares apartments here

Salaried tech workers, consultants, and finance staff, plus UCSF Mission Bay researchers. Older on average than the Mission and more likely to be here on a company relocation package.

The trade-off

It's the most expensive per-person rent on this list and the streets empty out at night and on weekends. You're paying for the walk to work and the amenities, not for neighborhood life.
