With a population of about 60,000, South San Francisco, or "South City" as the locals call it, lies north of San Francisco International Airport in a small valley between San Bruno Mountain and the Coast Range. The temperate climate resembles that of San Francisco proper with a very mild Winter (snow is rare), a Summer dominated by fog and wind from the Pacific Ocean, and Fall and Spring bringing with them the most favorable weather.
South San Francisco is also an important hub of the biotech industry with many world's largest biotech companies and many small startups moving here to be in proximity to the UCSF, Stanford University, and UC Berkeley; all within a one hour's drive. And as an extra plus for those with a sweet tooth, See's Candies is also headquartered in South San Francisco.
