 Overview
San Francisco may have rightly earned its reputation for counterculture. But the same quirky eccentricities and pervasive free-thinking attitudes make it a great place to retire, with its differences from the norm providing much of the appeal. The diverse cultures that call the city home ensure there's no shortage of events and festivals. And there are plenty of recreational and outdoor activities residents enjoy, aside from the usual attractions at Fisherman's Wharf and Golden Gate Park. Below are the prices you can expect to pay for various goods and services in San Francisco.
