3 reasons Pacific Heights is my favorite neighborhood in San Francisco. First up, it has the best collection of parks in the city between Lafayette Park, Alta Plaza Park, and the Presidio. The views and amenities at each of these is unmatched, and it's rare to have even one of these types of parks, let alone 3 in a single neighborhood. Next up is the shopping and dining scene between Fillmore Street and Sacramento Street. You can get everything you need from casual to Michelin-level food to vintage clothing to high-end home goods. Last up is the architecture. The collection of historic homes is unbelievable, from classic Victorian and Edwardians to massive colonial homes, and it's home to Billionaires Row, which is the most out-of-control collection of homes in the entire city. Let me know your favorite neighborhood in the comments.
