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.
The Mission District is one of San Francisco's oldest neighborhoods, and its name is derived from Mission San Francisco de Ass, which was built by the Spanish in 1776.[6] The Mission is historically one of the city's most significant centers of the Chicano/Mexican-American community.

The area was recognized for a vibrant punk culture in the 1970s and 1980s and finally became known as a "bohemian" center. In the 1990s, waves of Central American immigrants and political refugees migrated into the Inner Mission, contributing to the development of a dynamic latino cultural nexus in the city's center.
Quality of life is subjective and can be affected by a range of factors. While some house buyers choose a walkable metropolis with plenty of things to do nearby, others prefer the suburbs with their serene streets, peace and quiet, and access to open areas and wildlife.
