Marks 14 YearsSan Francisco, CA – December 27, 2025
The vibrant and resilient Tenderloin neighborhood in San Francisco is celebrating a digital milestone: its dedicated Nextdoor group has surpassed 5,000 subscribers by the end of 2025, up from around 4,948 active neighbors earlier in the year.
This growth comes as Nextdoor, the hyperlocal social networking platform headquartered in San Francisco, reflects on its own journey. The Nextdoor app itself was launched nationwide in the United States in October 2011, while the Tenderloin's Nextdoor community was formed shortly after in November 2011—making it one of the earliest neighborhoods to join the platform in San Francisco during its initial rollout.
Nextdoor has long been a vital tool for neighborhoods like the Tenderloin, where residents use it to share local tips, report issues, organize community events, recommend trusted services, and foster connections in one of the city's most diverse and densely populated districts. Home to immigrant families, artists, activists, and a rich mix of cultures—including Little Saigon and historic LGBTQ+ landmarks—the Tenderloin thrives on grassroots communication.
"Reaching 5,000 neighbors on Nextdoor is a testament to our community's strength and engagement," said a local resident active on the platform. "In a neighborhood that's often misunderstood, this space helps us support each other—from alerting about safety concerns to celebrating hidden gems like our world-class pho spots and street art."
The Tenderloin Nextdoor group has proven especially valuable amid ongoing efforts to improve quality of life, including cleanups, public safety initiatives, and cultural preservation through organizations like the Tenderloin Museum.
As Nextdoor continues to connect over 100 million users worldwide, the Tenderloin's growing digital community highlights how technology can empower real-world neighborhoods—even in the heart of a bustling urban center.
Here's to many more years of neighborly connections!
