If you're considering buying or selling a home in San Francisco, it's helpful to understand how the city's neighborhoods are categorized in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) by Realtors. San Francisco has ten MLS districts, as shown below, and 90 subdistricts or neighborhoods. See this online map for more detail. (The ten MLS districts are different from the city's eleven Supervisorial Districts, which have to be redrawn every ten years so that each district is roughly equal in population.)
San Francisco's ten MLS districts are listed below, along with the names of each subdistrict/ neighborhood. Each subdistrict is identified by number and letter in the MLS; for example, 1E for the Outer Richmond, 5C for Noe Valley, 7D for Cow Hollow, etc.
District 1: Northwest (Sea Cliff, Lake Street, Jordan Park/Laurel Heights, Outer Richmond, Central Richmond, Inner Richmond, Lone Mountain)
District 2: Central West (Outer Sunset, Central Sunset, Inner Sunset, Outer Parkside, Parkside, Inner Parkside, Golden Gate Heights)
