Welcome to Pacific Heights!
Pacific Heights sits high above the Bay on San Francisco’s north side, offering a blend of timeless elegance, walkable city living, and some of the most memorable views in the city—Alcatraz in the foreground, the Golden Gate Bridge stretching toward Marin, and the Bay glimmering below. The neighborhood is celebrated for its stately homes, classic Victorians and Edwardians, and beautifully maintained streetscapes that feel both refined and welcoming.
At street level, daily life is anchored by excellent shopping and dining— along Union & Chestnut Streets, where independent boutiques, destination restaurants, and cozy coffee spots create a lively, local rhythm.
Nature and culture are part of the lifestyle here. The Marina Green is an easy go-to for morning runs, dog walks, and postcard-perfect Bay views. Nearby, the Palace of Fine Arts delivers one of San Francisco’s most photogenic landmarks, while the Presidio opens up miles of trails, overlooks, and recreation—made even better by Presidio Tunnel Tops, a newer park space designed for lounging, play, and panoramic vistas. Fort Mason adds a dose of history and community life with its waterfront setting, event spaces, and weekend farmers market.
Historically, Pacific Heights rose to prominence in the late 1800s and early 1900s as San Francisco expanded and affluent residents built large homes on higher ground—an era that still defines the neighborhood’s architectural character and classic “old San Francisco” charm today. The result is a neighborhood that feels simultaneously historic and current: sophisticated homes, spectacular scenery, and an unbeatable location for enjoying the best of San Francisco.
