Top neighborhoods in San Francisco

Pacific Heights

What it’s like to live in Pacific Heights

Spectacular views and mansion architecture define Pacific Heights, where San Francisco's most prestigious address showcases extraordinary wealth alongside occasional rental possibilities in divided larger homes and smaller apartment buildings on less prominent streets. The neighborhood's elevation provides breathtaking panoramas across San Francisco Bay toward both Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge, while the sophisticated shopping district along Fillmore Street offers upscale amenities without downtown congestion. Though commanding San Francisco's highest rental rates, Pacific Heights rewards residents with both architectural magnificence and exceptional positioning between both Presidio parklands and Union Street dining creating ideal urban balance rare across typically specialized San Francisco districts emphasizing either natural or commercial advantages rather than successfully integrating both environmental features.

Russian Hill

What it’s like to live in Russian Hill

The district surrounds the famous Lombard Street "crookedest street" while offering genuine walkability to both North Beach dining and Polk Street shopping without requiring vehicle dependencies. Though rental rates significantly exceed city averages, the combination of exceptional location, cable car access, and architectural significance typically justifies the premium for those seeking quintessential San Francisco experiences balancing sophisticated urbanism with village-like character increasingly rare in rapidly developing areas.
