With so many San Francisco neighborhoods to choose from, each with its own unique identity and idiosyncrasies, where do interested homebuyers start? Turns out, the first place they’re likely to check is the Sunset. According to Trulia’s data, via Curbed SF, that’s the most-searched neighborhood by buyers.
Wanting to dig a little deeper, Curbed also took a look at the Trulia’s data on the most commonly searched ZIP code among San Francisco area home browsers and, when you look at it from that perspective, it turns out that South San Francisco tops Trulia’s list.
