Call us prejudice, but we think San Francisco is the best place to live on Earth! Just check out some of the links below to discover a deliciously diverse range of schools and neighborhoods, as well as places to workout, sip espresso, and read the local newspapers.

Schools -- Whether you want to send your children to a public or private school, you'll find many choices to meet your family's needs.

Neighborhood Maps -- Take a tour of all the neighborhoods in San Francisco without ever leaving your chair. Once you find the ones that sound perfect for you, call us and we'll take you on a real life tour of homes for sale in those neighborhoods.

Coffee Houses -- You don't have to walk far in San Francisco before you realize the City is brewing strong. Click here to read the ratings for espresso served in more than 400 SF cafes, bars, and restaurants. But don't take their word for it. Go out and taste for yourself!

Workout Centers -- We San Franciscans are a healthy bunch. While some of us belong to the "Polar Bear Club" and swim in the bay everyday, others prefer to maintain health at the gym, on lake, or in the dance studio. CitySearch sums up some creative workouts to be found only in San Francisco.

Local Newspapers -- For daily news from around the corner and around the world, we always turn to our fave, The Examiner. For more local news and entertainment updates delivered weekly, we enjoy the San Francisco Bay Guardian and SF Weekly.
