Areas to Be Cautious/Avoid (Especially at Night):
- Around 6th & Market/Mission: This intersection and blocks nearby are frequently described as rough, with high visibility of homelessness and drug activity, notes this TripAdvisor review of SoMa, and this College Confidential forum post.
- Near the Tenderloin: The closer you get to the Tenderloin's border (especially north of Market), the sketchier it becomes, with more visible social issues, according to Reddit users.
- West of 5th Street: Areas like Howard Street between 5th and Russ are cited as rougher, while Folsom is also noted as having challenging stretches.
