Properties in San Francisco fall across a broad spectrum, from teensy micro-units to the sprawling mansions of Billionaires' Row. Even at the small end of that scale, there's plenty of variety in the available options. There are currently 10 units under 600 square feet up for sale in the city, and we've mapped them all for you with help from the folks at Point2Homes, who compiled the city's tiniest listings using data from PropertyShark. They range from an '80s-style unit in Russian Hill being advertised as a pied-à-terre to a former model unit at the Mission's new Vida condo building. Most have common space and building amenities that offer a place within the building to entertain and relax. Though of course even San Francisco's smallest spaces command a premium: Nearly all of the 10 cost more than $1,000 per square foot.

Copy Link

Price: $679,000
Price per square: $1,358
The skinny: A brand-new building in the Mission offers up this junior one-bedroom with a fireplace and private outdoor patio.

45 Bartlett Street #516, The Mission

Copy Link

Copy Link

Size: 555 square feet
Price: $599,000
Price per square: $1,079

Copy Link

Size: 566 square feet
Price: $495,000

2 Fallon Place #50, Russian Hill

Copy Link

Size: 570 square feet
Price: $614,000
Price per square: $1,077
The skinny: Listed as a perfect pied-à-terre, this studio in the Landmark nonetheless offers very little in the way of interior photos. The unit has views out to Coit Tower and mirrored walls. The Landmark was built in 1980, and the unit has an '80s feel through and through.

Copy Link

Size: 582 square feet
Price: $569,000
Price per square: $978
The skinny: Another condo in the Parc Telegraph, this one-bedroom is long, narrow, and carpeted. It backs up to a rugged hill with grassy views. Although it is bigger than its counterpart at #233, this unit feels much more dated.
