The Bay Area is home to some of the most sought-after neighborhoods on the west coast. And for good reason: from the north to the Silicon Valley, the area offers spectacular natural beauty along the Bay shoreline, a vibrant cultural community, and affluent urban and suburban neighborhoods near top employers, including tech giants like Apple, Google, Facebook, eBay and HP, to name only a few. Residents also love the abundance of organic food options, the beautiful public parks, ranging from the Golden Gate Park to the Presidio to Dolores Park, and the bike-friendly roads. With no shortage of shopping, dining, and entertainment options across the region, it's no surprise that the San Francisco Bay Area often tops rankings of the happiest, healthiest and fittest cities in America.
