Appropriately named, the Financial District of San Francisco is the central working district in the city. Law firms, corporate offices, banks, and Fortune 500 companies are a few of the financial institutions that occupy the area. This industry-based neighborhood offers abundant restaurants and shopping opportunities as well. The Financial District sits next door to Chinatown and Union Square, a vibrant neighborhood offering upscale shops, restaurants, hotels, and nightlife. Residents of this district enjoy the upscale, high-rise apartments towering over the city and the modern apartment buildings in a central location.
The Financial District occupies much of north Market and Mission Streets in the northeast portion of San Francisco. Conveniently located near bus lines, train lines, ferries, and freeways, this neighborhood’s central location serves thousands of daily commuters.
