San Francisco's Tenderloin
San Francisco’s Tenderloin, known as the “TL” by locals, is known for its colorful reputation. Historically, it’s been a home for musicians and artists and a site for social movements. Before the Stonewall Riots in New York, Tenderloin was the site of the 1966 Compton Cafeteria Riot, which eventually led to the city government establishing the Transgender District in 2017, the first of its kind on the planet. The neighborhood is also home to a lower cost of living than the rest of San Francisco. “It’s an economically challenged neighborhood,” says Eli Kuo, a Realtor with Keller Williams who has been selling real estate in the Bay Area since 2005. Tenderloin is home to a rich history filled with proud people and its community has historically resisted attempts to gentrify or change the neighborhood’s identity. Today it's home to theaters, a popular Vietnamese dining district and a lively community proud to call the neighborhood home. The neighborhood also has a 7/10 score on the CAP crime index.
Tenderloin's Little Saigon's entrance is marked by two iconic statues.
Tenderloin has plenty of access to public transportation. There are Bay Area Rapid Transit bus stations on most street corners in the neighborhood, which provide easy access to the rest of the city.
The Tenderloin is walking distance from the famous Powell and Market Cable Car Stop.
The Civic Center BART Station connects the Tenderloin to the rest of the Bay Area.
The Tenderloin is serviced by the iconic San Francisco Streetcars.

Little Saigon
Little Saigon is the neighborhood’s primary culinary center, and the area is often bustling with people picking up banh-mi sandwiches or sitting down with a bowl of soup in restaurants like Saigon Sandwich. “In that way, Tenderloin is a cultural center because of the Vietnamese population that has ventured into that area,” says Kuo. The neighborhood, which has a walkability score of 98/100, also has easy access to nearby shops and restaurants on Gough Street. There are plenty of small local markets in Tenderloin, like Mid City Market and Deli or Yogi Food Market. For more heavy-duty shopping trips, Trader Joe’s is about half a mile away.
Customers leaving the L&G Vietnamese sandwich shop say it's the best in the Tenderloin.

It also serves as an outdoor art space and is adorned with murals and works of sculpture.
The Tenderloin National Forest is a somewhat sarcastically named park in the middle of downtown.
