What neighborhood is 1486 15th St located in?

Inner Mission, San Francisco

The Inner Mission, District 9c, is a Mission District microhood bounded on two sides by highway 101, Dolores Street (where it borders the Mission Dolores and Noe Valley neighborhoods), and Cesar Chavez Street, where it borders Bernal Heights.

Located near the center of the City, the Inner Mission is bikeable, walkable, and has great public transportation, including two BART stations, freeway access, and bus lines.

One reason the Inner Mission is cool is because it’s hot — compared to the rest of foggy San Francisco, that is. People also love the area because it’s at the apex of all that is happening in the tech economy and culturally, including a vibrant café culture, great nightlife, an eclectic mix of new developments and classic, older San Francisco architecture.
