North of Panhandle
In recent years, NoPa (short for North of Panhandle) has become one of San Franciscoโs hippest neighborhoods. Close to both USF and the UCSF Parnassus campus, the area is home to many students and young professionals. Residents love NoPaโs blend of shops and restaurants, plentiful green space--courtesy of the Panhandle and Golden Gate Park-- and peaceful residential streets lined with colorful Victorians. Catching the MUNI or jumping on the freeway is also easy.
