Living in San Francisco – 5 Great Reasons You Will Love It   by Jon Harwokey

For centuries, people have been desperately seeking the finest places to live. Mankind has experimented with life in the mountains, beachside, desert, and the plains. There are people crowded into cities and others courageously living in remote locations. Have we found the perfect place? There is one group of people that are convinced that they have found the quintessential location for life. They live in San Francisco.

Admittedly, an earthly Utopia does not exist. All we can do is get as close as possible to the life nonpareil. Based on the following reasons, those living in San Francisco feel like life couldn’t get any better.

Climate of Perfection
Living in San Francisco is a virtual Garden of Eden when it comes to climate. There is a perfect blend of cool weather when you want it and warm weather when you need it. A tranquil fog in the morning balances with the blazingly clear sunshine in the afternoon. You want to live in a place that’s comfortable. Living in San Francisco can offer you just that -temperature perfection year-round.

Unparalleled Beauty
When it comes to aesthetics, San Francisco offers beauty by the mile. How many places can you find the most photographed bridge on the planet – the Golden Gate Bridge? San Francisco beauty extends beyond the exquisite cityscape and soaring skyline. In the backdrop of the city are the mountains. To the west is the Bay and nearby beaches. There are the legendary steep streets and exotic Chinatown, the vintage streetcars, and nearby wine acreage. Wherever you look, San Francisco is looking back with unmatched beauty.

Culturally Captivating
San Francisco is a city of high culture, an elevated standard of living, and expectation of the finest in nearly everything. The city’s culture reflects the San Franciscan’s penchant for the crème de la crème in life, and it’s not just in their wining and dining, either. As an educated class of people, living in gentrified districts, San Francisco boasts the finest in performing arts, hosting world-class guests at the War Memorial and Performing Arts Center. Premier museums such as the S.F. Museum of Modern art, or gardens like Yerba Buena are places rich with heritage and beauty. If you are more into the tourist hot spots such as visiting the famous Alcatraz prison or historical spots from the Gold Rush, you will find these and so much more.

Balanced Recreation
It is not all upper crust delights that making living in San Francisco a dream. It’s the recreation, too. To start, San Francisco is considered the most easily walked city on Earth. One third of commuters use their feet to get from one location to another instead of wheels. Beyond the mere shoes-on-the pavement allure of the city, there area professional sports teams—the 49ers and the Giants. Golf Courses such as Olympic Club, Daly City, and Harding Park are PGA-level courses. Skateboarding enthusiasts make San Francisco a pilgrimage because of the city’s top-notch skate parks. Cyclists are devoted to the 200 miles of bike paths winding throughout the city. Boaters, sailboaters, windsurfers, kite surfers, and yachters all enjoy the Bay’s perfect recreational climate. It’s no surprise that San Francisco has one of the healthiest populations in the country.

Ideal Ambience
The final reason that people love living in San Francisco is a reason that defies explanation. It is something better experienced than explained. San Francisco possesses that unique air—a combination of the laid-back with energizing excitement—that forms perfect satisfaction. It is a city that you’ll never tire of. There is always something to do, something to explore, something to enjoy. Living in San Francisco is loving San Francisco.
