• Living Mission Bay and Parnassus means being at the heart of one of the most vibrant medical communities in the country. Whether you're walking to rounds at UCSF or collaborating on research across disciplines, these neighborhoods offer more than just proximity — they offer purpose.
• Parnassus has a quiet, residential feel. It’s tucked into the hills near Golden Gate Park, with leafy streets, old Victorians, and a sense of calm that’s rare in a city. Mission Bay is sleek and modern, built for innovation. It’s where medicine meets biotech, and where new ideas get tested, scaled, and launched.

You can walk through eucalyptus forests, kayak along the bay, or grab dim sum with colleagues before heading home.
• Transit is easy. Muni, Caltrain, BART — it’s all connected. Whether you’re commuting, catching a flight, or just heading across town, you’re covered.
• And most importantly, there’s a sense of community. You’re not just another physician in a big city. You’re part of something — a network of people who care deeply about their work, their patients, and each other.
