Timeless Charm On Russian Hill

Russian Hill stands as one of San Francisco's most distinctive neighborhoods. It is renowned for its breathtaking views, palatial houses, and Lombard Street – one of the world's most iconic (and crookedest) street! The area showcases an eclectic mix of architectural styles, from Spanish Colonial mansions to century-old row houses, offering homes for every taste and sensibility.

The neighborhood enjoys a prime location, bordered by Pacific Heights and Marina to the west, Fisherman's Wharf and North Beach to the north/east, and Nob Hill and Chinatown to the south. This central position provides residents with endless opportunities for exploration and entertainment.

The area's character shines through its hillside garden climbs, beautiful parks, and local landmarks like the original Swensen's Ice Cream Store at Union and Hyde. The streets of Jackson, Union, and Hyde feature boutiques and restaurants with a distinct European flair, while Polk Street between Union and Broadway offers excellent shopping options.
Proximity to Fisherman's Wharf provides both recreational and cultural opportunities. The Maritime National Historical Park, including the Maritime Museum and historic vessels along Hyde Street Pier, offers educational experiences. Local dining options range from casual favorites like Quickly's bubble tea to traditional fish and chips at Lou's Fish Shack.
Despite its steep terrain and famous hairpin turns, Russian Hill maintains excellent walkability. The Financial District and Civic Center lie within a thirty-minute walk, and several Muni routes serve the area, providing convenient transportation alternatives.
