Daly City Overview

Located just south of sunny San Francisco, Daly City is a gem of the west coast scene. Boasting a highly in-demand quality of life as well as easy access to a world of cultural excitement and economic opportunities, this California hot spot is an excellent option for anyone considering a new place to call home.

What is the history of Daly City?

Through much of the early 1900s the city was a hub of dairy farming, and Daly City was officially incorporated in 1911. Expanding greatly in the 1940s thanks to land development in the realm of retail and higher-end housing, with the addition of rail infrastructure in the 1970s adding an influx of population to the city limits. Currently boasting well over 100,000 proud residents, this charming locale offers both epic scenery and a thriving economic base.

How is the weather in Daly City?

Like much of California, Daly City apartment residents can anticipate a wealth of sunny skies throughout the year. The classic San Fran fog is still a presence most mornings, and temps can be a little chilly when the clouds roll in off the water. Still, snow is almost unheard of, and summer months are wonderfully pleasant and mild.

How do I get around town?

Daly City is easily within some of the most highest levels of public transit usage in the nation, and thankfully Daly City apartment residents will have a multitude of options at their disposal for getting around. The BART and SanTrans rail lines lead into much of San Francisco proper, and the San Francisco International Airport is a mere 9 miles or so away from Daly City center. Bus transfers are also found with ease, as are taxis and ride sharing options such as Lyft.

What is the Daly City commute like?

Traffic leading into San Fran can be thick on most work days, leading many to use the rail service for commuting. Interstate 280 acts as the main roadway throughout the city and beyond, while State Route 82 and 35 provide additional options for navigating the city.

What are the local media outlets?

Broadcast is in high supply thanks to a variety of nearby affiliates of such titans as NBC and CBS, while radio is a diverse affair consisting of political talk, modern rock, classical and sporting news. The San Francisco Chronicle acts as the most widely-read regional news source, with a number of local periodicals catering to nightlife and artistic events as well.

What Daly City landmarks should I see?

History fans will undoubtedly want to visit the notorious site of the Broderick-Terry duel, while the Hills of Eternity Memorial Park is a place of beautiful, quite reflection. Wind Harp Tower is a must-see for fans of architecture, and the nearby Coastside Museum offers a great collection for those interested in California history.

What is there to do around Daly City?

Thornton State Beach is a perfect place to catch a wave, while the hiking and sweeping views of nearby San Bruno Mountain is legendary, both located just a short drive from an array of Daly City apartments. Molloy's is a great spot to raise a glass with the locals, or grab some dinner at Val's Lounge, where steak and seafood rule the menu. Shopping is always and easy option as well, and the Asian Art Museum presents a great rainy day alternative for those on the hunt for cultural excitement.

Any annual festivals or Daly City events to know?

The Pacific Coast Fog Festival pays homage to the famous cloudy influx through a combination of music and cuisine, while the Great Dickens Christmas Faire will make even the most hardened Grinch crack a yuletide smile.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Head north up the coast to the camping and hiking excitement of southern Oregon, or hit the bright lights of Hollywood, both an easy weekend escape for those residing in apartments in Daly City. Wine Country tours are always within range, and for those desiring a true road trip adventure, the Las Vegas strip is a few hours away.
