While Parkside and Outer Mission – Excelsior had the fastest growing rents last quarter, up 10% and 8%, respectively, Outer Sunset and Lakeshore saw the biggest rent dips, both down over 7%.

As the only 3 neighborhoods with rents above $3,700, South Beach, SOMA, and Pacific Heights reigned as the most expensive areas. Telegraph Hill, Mission, Hayes Valley, and Mission Bay – Dogpatch followed closely behind as the next priciest neighborhoods.

Closer to the $3,000 threshold, NOPA, Nob Hill, and Lone Mountain were more affordable areas still relatively central to the city.
