The coolest neighborhood in California is the 9th most unique and vibrant community in the entire country.

This lovely little locale is known far and wide for its charming streets, shops, bars, and everything in between. History teems through every inch as friendly faces crowd the streets, adding to the district's eclectic and inviting energy.

So, what is the coolest neighborhood in California?

According to a list compiled by LoveExploring, the coolest neighborhood in California is San Francisco's Mission District. Mission District also ranked among the coolest neighborhoods in the entire country due to vibrant and unique qualities that set it apart from communities across America.

Los Angeles's Silver Lake and Paso Robles's Tin City neighborhoods also ranked among the most unique in the country!

Other neighborhoods that made the list include North Loop in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Germantown in Nashville, Tennessee, downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Capitol Hill in Seattle, Washington, to name only a few.

Here's what LoveExploring had to say about the coolest neighborhood in the entire state:

"It’s tricky to find a spot of Mission, San Francisco’s oldest neighborhood, that doesn’t reflect its artsy spirit, whether that’s murals on walls and building façades or the Chicano and Latin American works displayed at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts. That, and the eclectic array of bars and eateries – with tamale stalls next to vegan pho cafés and Indian dosa restaurants – make this arguably the city’s coolest neighborhood, despite some pretty stiff competition."
