South San Francisco, CA Apartments for Rent

South San Francisco stands proudly with its iconic hillside sign declaring "The Industrial City," located just 10 miles south of downtown San Francisco and adjacent to San Francisco International Airport. Home to over 66,000 residents, the city has evolved from its industrial heritage to become a major biotech center, with companies like Genentech establishing their headquarters here. The city offers multiple transportation options including BART and Caltrain stations, ferry service to the East Bay, and access to major highways.

South San Francisco spans 9 square miles, with rental options available throughout its established neighborhoods. The city features outdoor spaces like Sign Hill Park's trail system, Orange Memorial Park's recreation facilities and seasonal farmers market, and the waterfront Oyster Point Marina. The historic downtown district along Grand Avenue maintains its small-town character while offering local shops and dining spots. Residents appreciate the proximity to San Francisco, employment centers, and San Bruno Mountain State Park's hiking trails.
