According to Paragon Real Estate, the Sunset is San Francisco's hottest neighborhood. 

"[W]ith its quiet streets and low crime rates; its closeness to the beach, [Golden Gate] Park and highways south to Silicon Valley; and its attractive, modest-sized houses built mostly in the 1930’s and 1940’s," says Paragon in a report, "[Sunset District] is now the hottest, most competitive market in San Francisco."

The report notes that competition in the real estate market has shifted from eastern neighborhoods to the western neighborhoods. Not only has Sunset seen demand skyrocket, Richmond and Lakeshore have as well. 

"When the recovery started, unquestionably the big neighborhoods were places like Noe Valley, Cole Valley, and the Marina," Paragon analyst Patrick Carlisle told Curbed. "You didn’t see this kind of attention paid to the Sunset. Now you do."
