It’s easy to see why some of San Francisco’s wealthiest residents choose to live in Pacific Heights. One of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, its prime hilltop location features sweeping views of the bay or city from manicured streets lined with gracious Victorian, Classic Revival, Italianate and Art Deco mansions. Gordon Getty, Nancy Pelosi and Danielle Steel are among the San Francisco elite who call this highly desirable community home.

No matter which way you wander in Pacific Heights, cafes, restaurants and trendy shops await you. Locals also enjoy two beautiful, dog-friendly parks: Lafayette and Alta Plaza. Each park offers a combination of peaceful spots to retreat from the bustle of city life, along with recreation facilities such as tennis courts and well-equipped playgrounds.
