Is South San Francisco still affordable?
So, The unemployment rate is 1.7%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -South San Francisco sits at 243.2 per 100K. With a population of 64,487, South San Francisco is a smaller city. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Good schools
- Easy commute
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- Lack of diversity
- Homelessness issues downtown

The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
