#1. Sea Cliff<\/b><\/p>\n

With a median sale price set for $3,115,000 in 2013 (sorry TriBeCa, you fall behind with only $2,724,228) Sea Cliff<\/strong> is officially San Francisco\u2019s most expensive place to live in<\/strong>, though it registered only a modest 8% growth as compared to 2012. But then again, Sea Cliff has been a regular presence in the top for quite some time \u2014 see 2009 most expensive neighborhoods rankings<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Priciest sale in 2013? This single-family residence at 632 El Camino Del Mar<\/a> <\/strong>that had a price tag of $11.5 million:<\/p>\n

\"priciest<\/a><\/p>\n

#2. Presidio Heights<\/b><\/p>\n

Though it dropped more than half a million in year-over-year growth comparison, San Francisco\u2019s former star neighborhood still made it to our list. It\u2019s the second priciest neighborhood in the City by the Bay, with a median sale price of $2,541,667.<\/p>\n

#3. Clarendon Heights<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2012 this was more on the \u201cso-and-so\u201d side. But then magic happened (that and a surprising 35% year-over-year increase) and ta-daaa! Clarendon Heights now ranks 3rd<\/sup> on the list, with a median sale price of $2,400,000.<\/p>\n

#4. Saint Francis Wood<\/b><\/p>\n

Next in our ranking is Saint Francis Wood. Nothing much changed in terms of median sale prices since 2012\u2014and by \u201cnothing\u201d we mean a trifling 5% climb that translates into $1,850,000.<\/p>\n

#5. Monterey Heights<\/b><\/p>\n

Did you honestly think nothing can beat Clarendon Heights\u2019 35% year-over-year growth? Well surprise, surprise! Monterey Heights can! This neighborhood climbed an amazing 40% in our charts since 2012, its median sale prices now reaching $1,685,000.<\/p>\n

#6. Forest Hill<\/b><\/p>\n

With a median sale price of $1,535,000, Forest Hill is one of the most stable neighborhoods in San Francisco. The 5% year-over-year growth doesn\u2019t sound like much, but still this is one of the priciest areas in good old San Fran.<\/p>\n

#7. Marina<\/b><\/p>\n

Marina registered one of the smallest year-over-year drops in our list. This neighborhood only plummeted 2% since 2012, from $1,535,000 to $1,505,000, but with its super-active nightlife going out beats staying in. Fair enough, right?<\/p>\n

#8. Pacific Heights<\/b><\/p>\n

With a median sale price of $1,432,000, Pacific Heights registered a significant 15% growth as compared to 2012. As we see it, this is one of the most promising neighborhoods in San Francisco in terms of real estate.<\/p>\n

#9. Buena Vista \u2013 Ashbury Heights<\/b><\/p>\n

Number 9 on our list is another negative growth. Not what we\u2019d call a dramatic fall, it\u2019s true\u2026 but a decrease remains a decrease, even if it\u2019s only 3%. As compared to 2012, the median sale price in Buena Vista \u2013 Ashbury Heights is now set at $1,400,000.<\/p>\n

#10. Eureka Valley \u2013 Dolores Heights<\/b><\/p>\n

Eureka Valley \u2013 Dolores heights closes our top 10 priciest neighborhoods in San Francisco. As compared to 2012 when its median sale price was hovering around $1,280,000, the neighborhood scored a modest but honorable 8% increase and added $100,000 to the median home price tag.<\/p>\n
