San Francisco State’s residential communities are located in the quiet, southwestern corner one of the most exciting, culturally rich, and picturesque cities in America. Imagine, living just one mile from the Pacific Ocean and only a short distance from all that San Francisco has to offer.
Whether you prefer traditional residence hall, suite, or apartment-style housing, SFSU has a variety of housing communities and room types. Whatever you’re looking for, we have a space that’s right for you.
Neighborhoods & Communities
Housing options are based on availability and subject to change. Depending on availability, some applicants may be assigned to a community other than what's listed for their class type. Any applicant seeking a year-round license agreement will be assigned to Manzanita Square.
