If you live in California, you may be residing in one of the coolest places in the world. 

Time Out Magazine released its fifth annual survey analyzing 20,000 city folk worldwide to find out what they each love and hate about their city. The list was based on factors including accessibility, culture and nightlife, affordable food and drink, and street life and community vibes. Top-scoring neighborhoods also got points for walkability. 

According to the global list, neighborhoods in only six U.S. cities made the cut - and three are in California

They are Silver Lake in Los Angeles, Barrio Logan in San Diego, and Dog Patch in San Francisco.

Here's what Time Out had to say about each:
