District 7

Located just south of the Presidio, this immaculate neighborhood is mere steps away from some of San Francisco’s most alluring hiking trails and parks. Presidio Heights offers seclusion amid the hustle of the Bay Area.

 

Presidio’s quiet streets are lined with grand, stately mansions that trade bay views for serenity, hiking trails, and a famed golf club.

 

 

Presidio Heights has the distinction of being not only an affluent neighborhood, but a family-friendly one as well. Residents come to Presidio for a variety of reasons, but they all come with an eye toward permanency. It is a place individuals and families come when they’ve achieved plenty and are looking to plant their roots.

 

 

Historic mansions and large family homes brimming with charm line Presidio’s streets. This serene and exclusive neighborhood offers a plethora of luxurious and captivating residences.

 

 

Presidio’s residents are people who’ve worked hard to get to this neighborhood, so when locals go out, they have plenty of high-quality restaurants to choose from. However, if they do get tired of this selection, they walk over to Clement Street where shopping and dining options seem endless.

 

 

It’s not the type of place that attracts high-profile residents looking for an active nightlife, but instead a preferred landing spot for city dwellers whose aim is to put down roots.

 

 

Presidio Heights is a place where eight-figure asking prices are not unusual and where the few sub-million dollar properties available are always one-bedroom condos. The “average” Presidio Heights home usually sells for upwards of $2 million. This does not mean that Presidio Heights is completely without condos or apartments; the Sacramento Street corridor has several multi-unit buildings. These apartments do command very high rents, guaranteeing that even those renting in Presidio Heights have done plenty of work to get there.

 

 

Early mornings in the Presidio, watching the fog pass beneath the Golden Gate Bridge; quiet nights dining at Spruce and low-key after-work drinks at Garibaldi’s; all of these activities (and many more) will make you feel like you’ve found a secret enclave in which to spend your life.

This demure neighborhood embodies affluent elegance, where visitors stare in envy at Pacific Heights’ architectural splendor.

 

Pacific Heights is San Francisco’s star neighborhood, where the streets are lined with a collection of French Chateau and Spanish-style mansions. Pacific Heights is a place where life is lived to the fullest, by people who’ve worked hard to get here.

 

 

In a city where space is at a premium, Pacific Heights is the only neighborhood east of The Presidio that offers truly enormous homes and large city lots. It’s one-of-a-kind, and its population reflects that.

 

 

It’s not a loud neighborhood, but one that values elegance and grace above all else.

 

 

While it is not a nightlife destination, the streets of the neighborhood are lined with eight-figure mansions and prominent residents who enjoy the exclusivity and tranquility of their homes.

 

 

Residents of Pacific Heights can escape their hectic schedules and seek solace in the superb hiking trails and spectacular views of Presidio National Park.

 

 

This neighborhood contains the city’s grandest mansions. It also has a large collection of restored Victorian homes, and several tasteful Edwardian apartment buildings, most now condo-converted. Nothing is inexpensive; rents here often soar into five figures and sale prices routinely top eight.

 

 

Whether strolling the streets and gawking at the majestic mansions, or enjoying the view in Alta Vista Park, both visitors and residents of Pacific Heights soak in the splendor of the neighborhood by simply stepping foot in this breathtaking area.

A plethora of galleries, boutiques, and stylish restaurants line the streets of Cow Hollow, making it an incredibly coveted San Franciscan locale. The neighborhood’s indisputable popularity ensures it's always bustling, and the nightlife is unlike anywhere else in the Bay Area.

Weekend mornings on Union Street feature a parade of spandex and yoga mats, while just up the street society matrons tend to their small sidewalk gardens.

 

 

Cow Hollow has been a desirable neighborhood for decades, but its recent demographic shift has given it a shot of adrenaline. Union Street has found new life as trendy new boutiques, spas, cycle shops, and casual eateries share space with long-time neighborhood fixtures.

 

 

Cow Hollow residents work hard, play hard, and yet somehow it seems that they’re doing it all with ease. They can blow off steam at a multitude of bars and clubs in the neighborhood, but also appreciate a quiet night at home, entertaining friends, or maybe just sitting with a glass of wine and gazing out the window at the bay.

 

 

Cow Hollow delivers the quintessential urban, dynamic lifestyle as much as any other neighborhood in San Francisco. Think of it as Manhattan — only without the skyscrapers and humidity, and located just a short walk from incredible outdoor recreational opportunities.

 

 

Cow Hollow is not cheap and it is no place to find small, reasonably priced single-family homes. However, it has an abundance of apartments and townhouses, most of which have been remodeled several times over. Though once a neighborhood of fixer-uppers, Cow Hollow is that no more.

 

 

There is always something to do in Cow Hollow, which is why locals love their neighborhood so much. Cow Hollow residents love being outdoors, whether that means passing the time at a sidewalk café or setting a new personal best time on a run to the Marina Green, all while maintaining a level of luxury and style.

With picturesque views along the edge of the bay, the Marina attracts shoppers and foodies to congregate on its boutique-lined streets and extensive green spaces.

A pervasive continental allure extends from the rows of charming eateries and shops to the neighborhood’s awe-inspiring views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

 

 

The Marina is largely populated by dynamic working professionals and new families living side-by-side with empty nesters who enjoy the neighborhood’s flat streets and ample sun.

 

 

The Marina combines high-end housing with a high-energy commercial strip. Some of the city’s best restaurants and its most unique boutiques can be found here. The Marina is set apart by its location, boasting incredible, iconic views and outdoor opportunities galore.

 

 

Marina residents embrace the distance dividing them from downtown, because that makes their little corner of San Francisco a bit quieter than others. Theirs is a retreat, with ample parks and Golden Gate Bridge views on-demand. Chestnut Street is a bit quieter than Union Street, but it has no shortage of chic restaurants and stylish boutiques.

 

 

Residential streets can be quiet, but being a destination in its own right, the Marina is seldom empty. Fans of casual dining and comfortable watering holes will love the neighborhood’s seemingly endless culinary choices.

 

 

The Marina is unique among San Francisco neighborhoods; it’s completely free of Victorians. Instead, the district is populated by breezy Mediterranean buildings. Those who can afford the steep price of admission are rewarded with magnificent abodes and an exclusive address.

 

 

Whether you spend sunny days on the Marina Green, watch sailboats on the Bay, or enjoy a farm-to-table meal from the Fort Mason Farmer’s Market, San Franciscans can feel the international influence throughout this illustrious neighborhood.
