Walking San Francisco's ULTRA WEALTHY Neighborhood

I'm in one of San Francisco's most expensive and exclusive neighborhoods where one bedrooms typically sell for close to $1 million and single-family homes sell for as much as a staggering $70 million. I'm talking about the Pacific Heights neighborhood. I'm Austin Klar, your lawyer turned real estate agent in San Francisco and Marin County. I've lived in Pacific Heights for over 4 years, and today I'm gonna take you on a walking tour of the entire area, show you my favorite spots of the area so you can really get to know it and understand why so many billionaires CEOs, titans of tech and industry, athletes, authors, you name it, all call Pacific Heights their home. So let's get right to the tour, and I'm going to start at the corner of California Street and Divisadero Street, two of the main commercial corridors of Pacific Heights. So we're going to start our tour on the corner of California and Divisadero Streets. It is a really important intersection for the Pacific Heights neighborhood. Uh, first of all, it is, you know, kind of centrally located within Pacific Heights itself. So California Street marks the southern end of Pacific Heights, but running in the east-west direction, Divisadero is a very central location, and Divisadero and California Streets are both like main commercial thoroughfares. So if you're traveling, you know, south through the city, or you're trying to get from Pac Heights to, you know, north over the Golden Gate Bridge or to the Marina, or if you're trying to get from Pacific Heights to go downtown, chances are you're going to be traveling on either one or both of these streets. And as a result of that, there are a ton of businesses, restaurants lining California Street. And that's why I wanted to start the tour off here and show you some of my favorite spots on California Street. And then I'm going to take you and show you a bunch of the awesome architecture and some of the other things on California Street, and we'll keep going from there. So this is the corner of California and Divisadero right here. So that way is east. We're going to walk that way towards Fillmore Street in a second. And then that is Divis going to the north. So as you can kind of see, running north to south, you've got some hills. Running east to west, relatively flat on this kind of stretch of Pacific Heights. That's going to change eventually, and we'll talk about that. So one of the go-to spots of the area is Scopa di Vino, which is this one right here. It's a wine bar, but the really cool thing about the restaurant is that they have live music. Another go-to in the area is what I'm standing in front of right now, Roussier. Relatively new French restaurant. It's a little bit elevated, but it's on the more casual side. They have a beautiful bar, full seating upstairs. It's really like open living space, super high ceilings, beautiful light fixtures. They're closed right now because it's too early in the day, otherwise I'd show you. And then another staple spot a couple doors down to the west from Routier is B Patisserie, also closed right now. They're closed Mondays and Tuesdays, which is when I'm filming this, but this is one of the most, you know, famous bakeries in all of San Francisco. If it were open right now, line would be all the way out the door. I've seen the line go half a block. Incredible pastries here. I keep it pretty simple. My favorite thing to get here is chocolate chip cookies. I think they're insane. I've had a number of different things here. They're all great. You can't go wrong, but trust me, the cookies are amazing. And going back toward Routier, if you look across the street at that spot on the corner right there, that's actually Bee On The Go, which is Bee Patisserie's kind of sister restaurant. It's more of a like little cafe, so they have like sandwiches to go. You can get a few of their like staple pastries there. You can get chocolate chip cookies. They're only open certain days of the week as well, but Really good sandwiches if you're in a pinch and need something quickly. Just at the edge of the intersection of California and Fillmore is Pizzeria Delfino, one of my favorite pizza spots in the area. Used to be like a to-go kind of walk-up counter type spot. They recently redid it, completely expanded, and turned it into a whole restaurant. Really great pizza there. Again, I can't show you the inside 'cause it's closed right now. It's too early in the day, but they have great outdoor seating and a beautiful interior. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the area. Awesome. And after you finish eating your pizza, you can go right next door to Johnny Donuts. Really good handmade donuts. They also serve coffee from my favorite coffee place, Equator. They're more on the gourmet side than like the old school donut shop side of things, but they're delicious. One of the things that I really love about California Street is that it's a really great combination of like historic quintessential San Francisco architecture and like commercial businesses, things to do. I mean, just look at this architecture along the street. I mean, it is quintessential San Francisco. There are gorgeous properties on California Street, single-family homes, condos, you know, of all types. One of the downsides of living on California Street, obviously, because there is all this activity, all this business, these shops and these restaurants, it does get very busy. And also because it's one of the main, like, transit corridors of the area, it gets really busy. There's a lot of traffic here from a car standpoint. So if you're living on California Street, you might hear some of that street noise. So for that reason, a lot of the property in the area on California Street tends to trade at a discount compared to similar properties that are a little bit further into the neighborhood, which I'll show you and we'll talk about. So definitely something to think about if you're moving to the area, great way to get awesome houses, awesome condos at a little bit of a discount. But, you know, the downside of that is, you know, you kind of get what you pay for. You may have some ambient street noise, especially with a lot of these older buildings, some of them, you know, built in the 1800s, early 1900s. You know, you may need to update the windows to double-pane windows. A lot of them may not have, you know, the great optimal layout with bedrooms toward the back of the property. They might have a bedroom or you know, maybe a main living area toward the front where it's a little bit louder because it's busier closer to the street. So all that, you know, you need to be thinking about if you're thinking about moving into a property that is, you know, right along California Street, because it does get kind of loud. And one of the things that you also notice about at least the stretch of California Street that I'm on right now is that the road is pretty much flat, barely an incline for several blocks. Starting, you know, at Divisadero Street, a little bit past Divisadero Street to the west, going all the way to about Fillmore Street to the east. So very walkable, super easy to get around. I'm actually heading toward the closest grocery store to where I live right now, Mollie Stone's. So we're crossing California and Pierce, and as you can see those steps in the distance there, that's Alta Plaza Park, which I'm going to show you in a minute. One of the best parks in the city, definitely my favorite. Park in the area. So we've walked 4 blocks from the corner of California and Divisadero Street to the corner of California and Fillmore Street, and we've reached the local grocery store for, you know, this part of Pacific Heights, which is Mollie Stone's, which is right behind me. I love Mollie Stone's. They have an incredible selection of cheese, good wine selection, good meat counter, solid produce. The one rub about Mollie Stone's is that it is super, super expensive, way more expensive than Whole Foods, which is all the way on the other side of Pacific Heights. Molly Stone's is really the closest grocery store for like this part of the area. So, you know, do what you can to avoid it. It is super expensive, but it is a great grocery store. So we're leaving Molly Stone's now. We're going to double back a block toward Pier Street where I showed you, um, those steps leading up to Alta Plaza Park. I'm going to take you around the park and show you all the beautiful architecture around there. Then we're going to head over to the main commercial corridor with all the like great bars and restaurants of Pacific Heights. On Fillmore Street, and I'll show you that as well. Now, before I take you over to Alta Plaza Park and show you the incredible architecture and views there, I wanted to let you know that I make videos about this type of stuff every single week. New construction developments, upcoming events and festivals in the city, what it's like living in different neighborhoods and day-to-day life there, the housing market. So if you like any of that stuff and you love living in San Francisco or learning about San Francisco, definitely subscribe to my channel because I make videos like this every single week. And if you ever want more information about any of these events buildings, neighborhoods, or about the housing market more broadly, or just have some questions you want to ask, definitely reach out to me. I'd be happy to chat with you. I'll put my contact info in the description below. Now let's take you over to Alta Plaza Park. So we've walked up, uh, 2 blocks from California Street to Clay Street along Pierce. We're at the bottom of Alta Plaza Park, which is a terraced park, uh, right in the middle of Pacific Heights. Um, you've got a terraced park on the south side of the park, and then Once we get to the top, it's sort of more flat and open green space with, you know, recreation space like basketball courts, tennis courts, children's play areas, picnic areas, all that. Lots of families, lots of dogs, lots of people just laying out when the weather's nice. So I'm gonna show you around Alta Plaza Park, and then I'm gonna come back down to Clay Street, which is where I'm at right now, because I wanna show you some of the awesome houses on Clay Street, some of the best old school, like classic San Francisco Victorians. Mm-hmm. On Clay Street that you definitely don't want to miss. So getting to the top of Alta Plaza Park is a little bit of work, but as you go up and up, you get increasingly better views of the entire, you know, city of San Francisco heading toward downtown to the east and then south to like all the way to like Sutro Tower. You'll see what the views are when we get all the way to the top. It's pretty amazing. And like one of my favorite things about the park is that it's completely surrounded by all these incredible houses, like all of the architecture here. I'm going to talk about it a lot in this video. So sorry in advance, but you know, that is one of the main reasons why people love living here so much. It's these just beautiful houses in every direction that you look, and then obviously these views you can already see, they're already starting to get better and better. So we've reached the top of the south side of Alta Plaza Park, and as I said, the views are pretty incredible. Here's where it starts to feel more like an actual park that you can hang out in because, you know, it's relatively flat and a lot more open than like the terrace staircases. So you got tennis courts and basketball courts over here, and then you've got the children's play area over here, which is great. I was just at a 2-year-old's, like, birthday party there a couple weeks ago. Really great when the weather's nice. And then as you get over kind of this little hilly part— just go up here— you'll start to see the beautiful houses and a little bit of the— what the view looks like to the north, which is pretty incredible. Some really big Pacific Heights mansions. You get views of the bay, views of the water, and then you have a lot of like open green space. So it really is more like a traditional park. Lots of people just hanging out here. That dude's just lying down on the ground looking at the sky. You got dogs. If this was a weekend and the day was like today, this place would be packed with people. So really awesome park. There's another park that is very similar to this a little bit further east, about 5 or so blocks east, called Lafayette Park. Similar in that like terrace in the front. A little bit more flat in the back with like recreation space, basketball courts, tennis courts, things like that. I think the views are better at Alta Plaza Park personally. I think the houses are nicer too that are surrounding it, but both are great parks. These houses that line the outer ring of Alta Plaza Park are some of the most expensive real estate in Pacific Heights. There are some areas that are more expensive that I'll show you, especially when you start getting views of like the water and the Golden Gate Bridge, but you know, these places with views of the park, if they are, you know, single-family homes and, you know, relatively renovated, you know, with kind of optimal layouts, they will sell close to, if not more than, $2,000 per square foot. So if you want a 2,500 or 3,000 square foot house, easily going to cost you $5, $5.5, $6+ million. And there are several that I'm about to show you on Clay Street, which is one of the best streets in the area. All facing the park have sold for, you know, north of $6, north of $7 million in that size range. We're at the bottom of Alta Plaza Park. Uh, that's Clay Street right there, um, one of the most desirable streets, uh, in Pacific Heights. Um, and as you could see, as I mentioned, these houses all have, you know, facades that are facing the park directly. So the views are pretty incredible. You're just at your window looking at all this open green space that we just walked through. And because the street is flat, because of the views, because it is so close to so many great things in the area, they are incredibly expensive but worth every penny. So one of the things that you'll notice about Clay Street is that there are these slow street signs that are up. Basically at the start of COVID the city instituted this like slow streets program all over the city. Basically ways to keep traffic to a minimum on certain streets and encourage people to walk or you know, run or ride bikes or scooters or whatever it is. Since the pandemic, they've taken away a lot of these slow streets, but Clay Street remains one of those slow streets in the neighborhood. So still one of the most walkable streets in not just the neighborhood, but in all of San Francisco, and you can just kind of take a stroll and enjoy the park and the architecture that makes the street so special. So there's kind of a different view of the terrace side of the park on the south east corner. We're at the corner of Clay and Steiner, and we're about to head over to another kind of commercial corridor of the area, which is Fillmore Street, which just has like a bunch of boutique shops, some like big name shopping, a ton of different restaurants and bars. I'll show you a bunch of my favorites, and we'll head north toward Broadway, which is one of the best streets in the area with the absolute— Best food. Most insane houses. So we're now on Fillmore Street, kind of at the bottom edge of Pacific Heights. It has a high concentration of bars and restaurants, also has some of the necessities like mini markets. The vet has a clinic here. There are little medical offices here. A lot of mixed-use buildings with condos and restaurants and businesses on the lower level. But really why you're coming to this area is the bars and restaurants. There are a ton of great ones, and I'm going to point out some of my favorites. So you've got Harry's Bar right here, which is definitely a go-to in the area on Fillmore Street between Pine and California, right at the lower edge of Pacific Heights. Really great sports bar when it's open. They have a ton of seating outdoors. They have pretty solid food here, good drinks. It is popping when the weather's nice, and when they're open at least. Definitely worth visiting. And then there are a ton of, I would say, more like bigger name brand like retail stores here. So they've got Alulu here, Gorgiana for jewelry, really good Italian restaurant across the street, Taylor Son. It's relatively new, really beautiful interiors, great outdoor seating, good drinks. I've gone there for happy hour a couple times. So another kind of bigger name brand retail shop, Rag and Bone. It's right there is where I showed you Delfina and Johnny Donuts earlier. So really close to there. Dandelion Chocolate, which is a local chocolate shop shop based here in San Francisco has a small pop-up shop on Fillmore Street. It's right across the street here. I'll walk over there. [FOREIGN LANGUAGE] They call it a pop-up shop. Maybe it's not a permanent location here, but it's been there for quite some time. Really great place for gifts, or if you just really want some fancy chocolate. But Troia's got some really good Mediterranean food. Usually get a falafel salad there, and I always add chicken to it. I always like chicken. Great kind of boutique spice shop there. They've got a lot of really off-the-wall spices in there along with a lot of the traditional stuff. There's a Frame store right behind that bus, so more like big name kind of retail brands. Really cute used bookstore here. They have new books too. Salt and Straw. If you're in the mood for ice cream, they have some of the weirdest flavors. I think I went in there a week ago and they had like a smoked mac and cheese ice cream. I mean, they have some really weird stuff, but some really good stuff too. It smells so good. Another good Mediterranean spot, La Mediterrane. Really good, super casual, quick Greek food. Joe and the Juice, always a staple. So more like big name brands. They have an Athleta right there. They've got a Page right here. And immediately after the Page, you see kind like that blank, like, overhead billboard, that's the Clay Theater. It's been abandoned now for several years, or vacant for several years. It closed towards the onset of the pandemic. It was recently purchased along with a bunch of other neighboring buildings by a developer here. Don't know what exactly they're going to be doing with it, but hopefully they turn into something really cool. I would love to see it come back as a theater, but who knows. At least hopefully we just get something there instead of nothing. [FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Another great bar in the area is Palmer's right here. They're doing a big renovation to the space, so it is closed right now, but it's got a very like, I'd say almost like Polo Bar, Ralph Lauren style decor. A lot of dark woods, taxidermy type vibes. Really awesome spot, great for happy hour. This was one of the first places that I went to during the pandemic that did like to-go drinks. So this was the first to-go drink that I got during the pandemic. From right here, and then I walked across Pack Heights with the drink in hand, obviously. That right there is The Snug, just a pretty casual bar and food spot. They serve tater tots, which is like a great snack food. What I like the most about it though is their parklets. During the pandemic, like a bunch of restaurants all over the place built these outdoor seating areas, and these ones are here to stay, which I really, really like. And they have heaters overhead, and I think they're just really nice. A lot of the ones that you see are kind of janky, but They did a good job with these. So some other places on Fillmore, you've got a Byredo, you've got a Lalabo, you've got an Aesop. So you have like those home goods kind of sundries type stores, multiple liquor stores, wine stores. I showed you the spice store earlier. They've got like little jewelry shops, antique shops, kind of all these, you know, like little random boutiques along with the big name brands I talked about. Fillmore also has the— The— Animal Medical Center, so the veterinary clinic for this part of town is right here on Fillmore Street. Then coming up here on the left, the orange awning is Choqué's, which is a really good, super casual, small French restaurant. During the pandemic, this whole area right here was completely shut down and they took over basically the whole street. It was pretty cool. They've since kind of pushed things back to kind of a more normal outdoor area dedicated to this space. But really great spot to dine. Beautiful street, beautiful architecture around there. I mean, it's a perfect day for it today. Really great food, good French onion soup, you know, steak and fries, that type of stuff. You've got more like necessities on the street, like a UPS store right here. If you keep going down Fillmore heading into kind of the marina, a couple minutes down you'll hit a FedEx as well. The ESOP store that I mentioned is right up there, and right next to it is a little mini market, and then Right across the street from there, they've got a Blue Bottle. There's also a Starbucks a couple blocks back too. So multiple coffee options. I love Blue Bottle. I think it's great. Usually gets packed during the day. I like to get cold brew and just walk around the corner to Alta Plaza Park and just kind of walk through the park and then head back toward my house. It's pretty packed right now. This is, you know, 1 o'clock on a Tuesday. Pretty packed. People sitting outside enjoying the weather. And one thing you can see, just like you said, on California Street, and just like we're going to see on Sacramento Street, which I'll show you in a few minutes, is that, you know, where all these businesses are on the lower floors, there's, you know, they're mixed-use buildings, there's residences above them. So throughout the whole area, this isn't just like a strip of businesses, it's mixed-use. There are people who live in all of these buildings above these stores. So incredible place to live for walkability. Definitely gets a little bit loud 'cause it is such a busy area, but it is super convenient to live around here. You have literally everything that you need within a couple blocks walk, a couple minutes walk, no matter what part of Fillmore Street you're on. We're now at the top of Fillmore Street on the corner of Fillmore and Pacific. And as you can see behind me, there's what looks like a house with a flag in front of it. Over the last many, many decades, a lot of different countries have taken over houses in Pacific Heights Pacific Heights and established consulates in them. So you'll see a bunch of different ones in the area with flags out front that just look like ordinary houses, but they are actually government buildings, which is pretty cool. So just adding to the diversity of, you know, the type of places that are all along Fillmore Street, from the restaurants and the shops and the bars and then the staples and to government buildings. So it is very, very diverse in the area, a lot of different things to see and do on Fillmore Street. So we've now reached the corner of Fillmore and Broadway, and we're going to head west along Broadway all the way to the edge of Pacific Heights on the west side on Presidio Avenue. This is probably one of the most iconic stretches of homes, not just in Pacific Heights but all of San Francisco. Um, as you'll see, it is very hilly here, uh, but because of those hills, these houses have incredible views. Um, they're also— most of them are often detached from their neighbors, so you get a lot more privacy here. The lots tend to be a lot larger here, and for all of those reasons, they are among the most expensive houses in all of San Francisco. Uh, the most expensive home ever sold in San Francisco just sold recently for $70 million, and it is on Broadway. We'll take you by it, and I'll show you a ton of other homes in the area and amenities along the way. One of my favorite things about Broadway in Pacific Heights is the mix of architectural styles of the homes. You have a whole range from like super hyper modern to like Spanish Mediterranean style to all the different types of Victorians and Edwardians. You've got the Italianates, you've got Queen Annes. I'm going to show you a whole range of them. One of the most famous houses in the area along Broadway is this Queen Anne right behind me, which is where they filmed Mrs. Doubtfire. So. So you definitely recognize the house at any given point. There are almost always people in front of the house taking photos. Right before I got here, there was a whole group of people taking photos in front of it. I'm taking photos in front of it right now. Very famous house, well known in the area. Now when you get this far north into Pacific Heights, the terrain really starts to change. So when you're starting off on California and you're on Sacramento Street and Clay Street and you're going east to west in between like Division Azadero and Webster Streets, it's pretty much going to be flat most of the way, so it's super walkable. But as you get further up the hill in Pacific Heights, you know, cresting at Broadway, it becomes very steep. So as you can see, like, coming down from like Jackson toward Broadway, and now we're walking up toward the crest of Pacific Heights at the very top of Broadway at the start of Billionaires Row, which I'll show you in a minute, uh, it gets really hilly, so a little bit less walkable, but still like generally walkable. No matter where you live, you're going to be pretty close to the places that I've been talking about, like Fillmore Street, California Street, and eventually I'll show you Sacramento Street. All those places are going to have the stuff that you need, so if you do want to walk around, you're not like walking crazy long distances up and down these hills. But the hills here are for sure no joke. It's how you have these amazing here. So just something to think about when you're figuring out whether you want to live in Pac Heights and where specifically in the area you might want to live. So we've reached the very tip-top of Pacific Heights. We're at the corner of Broadway and Divisadero. So we started at California into Divisadero Street, we walked east over to basically California and Fillmore Street, and then backtracked a little bit to Pierce Street, went up to Clay Street to the start of Alta Plaza Park, went over east to Fillmore Street, up Fillmore Street to Broadway, and then walked along Broadway all the way up the hill to the crest of Pacific Heights to where we are right now, Broadway and Divisadero. This is a really important street corner because not only is it the highest point in Pacific Heights, but it is the start of Billionaires Row or Broadway's Gold Coast, probably the most famous stretch of homes in all of San Francisco. And this is where like the absolute most expensive homes in the city are sold. One just sold for about $70 million. The last one, the one that set the record that was broken by that $70 million sale, sold a block over on Billionaires' Row for $43.5 million. So you get houses here that are, you know, on the smaller side, like 3,000, 4,000 square feet, but then you get the massive 10,000, 11,000, 12,000+ square foot homes. Some of the most incredible, unique architecture architectural styles in the entire city. They have the most incredible views. They sit on above average size lots, more than double, sometimes even triple the average size lot in San Francisco. So very, very special real estate, very special area. We're going to walk from the corner of Broadway and Divis to, uh, Broadway and Lyon, where I'm going to show you what might be the best viewpoint to the north in all of San Francisco at the Lyon Street Steps and the Presidio. So we'll get there in a minute or two. But before we get there, I'm going to show you all the iconic homes along the Gold Coast of Broadway. So I'm just going to start taking you on a walk down Billionaires Row, and I'll point out some of the more noteworthy houses along the way. They're, they're all noteworthy, but some of them have some pretty noteworthy owners. This futuristic one with the cut stone and the curved roof, that's the CEO of Nvidia's house. This really funky mid-century one with the super steep roof was an absolute fixer-upper. Sold for $9 million a few months ago. It's only about 3,500 square feet, but the views are unreal. Completely undistracted facing north, so views of the bridge, Palace of Fine Arts, the bay, Alcatraz, everything. And as you can see, like, every house pretty much has a different style. There are no cookie-cutter houses here whatsoever, and you will get views from all of of them. It's incredible. I also really love like the super wide street. It's relatively flat as well. So even though you're at the absolute like peak of Pacific Heights, this block, or this stretch of blocks in particular, starting at Divis and getting to Lyon Street is super walkable. You got this like super old traditional colonial style house right there. This house right here on the corner, the founders of the private members only social club in downtown San Francisco, called The Battery actually used to live there. They just sold it a few days ago for about $29 million. It had been on the market for about a year and a half most recently, but it'd been on and off the market for several years. Ken Folk did the interior design of the place. It's insane. It has a whole, you know, garage area. One of the most absurd houses that I've seen. One of the biggest houses on the block for sure. The rooftop is incredible. It's So amazing. these houses up here, the back of the houses align Broadway, but the front of the houses actually start on Pacific, which is one block south. So they basically, the lots go street to street, which is very rare in SF, but especially in this part of the city, very few houses have that. So they have these like huge courtyards in the middle, the carriage house, in front, and then massive homes, 10,000, 20,000 square foot homes that span all the way to Broadway Street. We got movers right here. This is where Laurene Powell Jobs just bought a house, that Spanish style or Mediterranean style house for $70 million. Johnny Ive's house, Larry Ellison's house is here. This is the bottom of David Sacks' house. Really just incredible architecture and scale. Billionaire developer Jay Paul lives in that massive kind of colonial or Mediterranean-looking house right there, elevated on that hill. This colonial-style home was the site of this year's decorator showcase. Basically every year a different designer or different contractor renovates a different room of a house in San— somewhere in San Francisco. This year's was this house here in Pacific Heights. So basically had 40 different designers and contractors renovate different rooms of the house. Very interesting designs. They definitely kind of pushed the limit with like colors. Um, this house has actually been on the market for, uh, the better part of the last year, uh, for $32 million. It was on the market before the renovation as well as after. Truly incredible house with amazing scale, crazy views. The only real downside of the house is that there's no parking. So you kind of have to just park on the street, which, you know, is pretty readily available, but a little bit ridiculous when you think about spending $32 million on a house and not getting parking. So there's another view of Jay Paul's house. Really cool, one of my favorite houses on the block. A lot of people doing renovations on the block. Really cool landscaping at a lot of these houses. You know, very rare to have like private front yards, but a lot of the houses, as you can see, have them here, part of why they are so expensive and why, you know, a lot of, you know, the CEOs and billionaires of the world choose to live here. You have houses elevated on the hill on the other side of Broadway so that they can see over the houses in front on the north side of Broadway and still get those incredible views. This is one of my favorite houses on the block. I love the brick and the stone detail, the landscaping and the roof. It is just beautiful. So we've now reached the end of Billionaires Row, ending at the Lyon Street Steps. Basically, people come here and run up and down these stairs for exercise. They go all the way down into Cow Hollow, which is the neighborhood to the north, down the hill. We get incredible views to the north. You can see the Golden Gate Bridge, you can see Alcatraz, you could see the Palace of Fine Arts, everything. This house actually right here, right next to the Lyon Street Steps is on the market right now for $38 million. Huge house, really beautiful interiors, no real backyard, which is unfortunate, but you do have the Lime Street Steps right next to you, uh, and some incredible views. Really pretty landscaping, super well maintained, and it's really not that busy right now. Given the weather, I would expect more people to be here, but on the weekends you can see people. I've seen people do like personal training up at the top. People run up and down these stairs for exercise. I'm just walking up and down, uh, definitely sweaty. It's a good workout. So at the very edge of Billionaires Row is one of the entrances to the Presidio, which is a national park. There are kind of a few distinct parts of the Presidio. Um, as you can see, like, this part is a very forested, woodsy area. So they've got, you know, trails throughout, great for, you know, little hikes, jogs, walks. And then there are different parts of the Presidio, technically outside of the Pacific Heights area that are, you know, completely open green space. There's like parks and recreation space, like basketball courts, pickleball courts. And then as you get further down, like toward the marina, you have the old like military buildings. You have flat open green space where they host food festivals and events. And you have the Presidio Tunnel Tops, which is one of the newest parks in San Francisco. So as I said before, Broadway has like the very tip top of Pacific Heights. This is south one block from Broadway up to Pacific. So we're at Pacific and Lyon, and as you can see all the way out to the Presidio, as I mentioned, you can see like those basketball courts and tennis courts, baseball area. So right now I'm at the very edge of Pacific Heights on the corner of Sacramento Street and Presidio Avenue. Basically, we ended Billionaires Row at the corner of Broadway and Lyon. I walked south along Lyon Street till I hit Sacramento Street and then headed west on Sacramento Street till I hit Presidio. And that's technically the very edge of Pacific Heights. Uh, it ends at California Street, so one more block south, but this is the western edge of Pacific Heights. So I'm going to take you on a little bit of a tour of Sacramento Street, which is one of my favorite streets in the area. So at the very edge, you've got the Vogue Theater here, which is one of the last remaining single-screen theaters in all of San Francisco. They play like a mix of old stuff and, you know, current features. Just depends on what type of events that they're holding. A lot of tributes to old movies are held here just because of the nature of the theater. But you do get a fair mix of modern stuff as well. You're also going to see a ton of interior design and home goods stores on Sacramento Street. That's where they are. So like a little bit less so on the other commercial corridor that we saw, Fillmore Street, much more going to be concentrated on Sacramento Street. So, you know, stores like Anthem, ton of different furniture, art, coffee table books. They have a bed and bath dedicated store there. You're going to see a ton of different interior designers with storefronts here, as well as like actual design shops as well. And one of the unique things about Sacramento Street is that, as you can kind of see here above all the storefronts, you actually have residences. So all of these buildings are required to be kept as like mixed-use buildings. So you're gonna have the commercial businesses on the lower level, residences up top. So if you're living on Sacramento Street, like one of the best areas for walkability and being close to a lot of different restaurants and shops, things to do. Uh, there's a lot of very high-end eating on Sacramento Street, both in Pacific Heights and neighboring Presidio Heights. This restaurant, Sorrelle, has a Michelin star. The awards recently came out and it kept the stars that it already had. Really good food, preset menu. They're closed right now because it's too early in the day, but they have like really cute tables set out, out front usually. Really pretty interior too, a beautiful bar setup. You don't have a lot of single-family homes on Sacramento Street. There are a couple, but for the most part it is multi-family living, either condos or rentals. One of the negatives about living on Sacramento Street, it's really busy. Yeah. There's a lot of foot traffic, a lot of car traffic. It's not as fast as the car traffic on California Street because it's all stop signs on Sacramento Street, so people aren't traveling as fast as they are on California Street, but it does still get somewhat loud in the area. So if you do live directly on Sacramento Street, I would definitely expect some street noise. Consider having, you know, upgraded windows to help with that. Another negative about living on Sacramento is parking. Most of the parking on Sacramento Street, not all of it, but most of it is metered. So if you don't have a parking spot at your building, you can't really park on Sacramento Street on the street during the week because it's metered and you can't just feed the meter nonstop. There are time limits. So you're either gonna need to find like rental parking in a garage nearby or you'll have to find parking like in the neighborhood to the north. Okay. Sacramento Street is home to the Presidio Library, very pretty campus. So the lot for the library starts on Sacramento Street and goes up to Clay Street. Really beautiful historic building. These are some new construction condos for sale right here. They're actually relatively reasonable because as you can see, there's no garage, so there's no parking. And parking is worth a lot on Sacramento Street, as I mentioned. So you can certainly get condos at a quote unquote discount without it. You know, those are still gonna be in the mid to high ones just because of the location. Location, but for being in Pacific Heights, that's honestly a deal. You got a couple really well-known interior design stores up here, the Future Perfect and March. Both of them are super high-end, very expensive. They make, you know, furniture, they make stuff for dining, like cutlery, plates, cups, you name it. Future Perfect is more like Scandinavian Nordic style. March is a little bit more, call it contemporary. So this corner store very close to where I live, Crystal Wonderful Market. Definitely have had some like emergencies with like parties and stuff where I've forgotten something, I run here and grab it. For being a really small corner store, they actually have a lot of great stuff. So come here all the time. Love Crystal Wonderful. It is wonderful. Got some really pretty houses on this block between Broderick and Divisadero on Sacramento Street. Some of the very classic, say for San Francisco architecture. This is one of the few stretches of Sacramento Street where you actually do get some single-family homes, and they're not the most like ornate, you know, massive single-family homes. They're all very, for the most part, but at least by Pacific Heights standards, like very modest, very pretty, well-maintained single-family homes. Some of them only one story, no more than 2,000 square feet. Just a really great quiet flat block. And I'm gonna end our Sacramento Street tour at London Market, which is one of the best liquor stores in the city. They've got an incredible wine collection. I don't come here that often for like hard alcohol. I'm too old for hard alcohol these days, I feel like. But they have a really, really great wine collection. A lot of great foreign wines, but great California wines as well. And they also have like a wine club too. So great to try a whole bunch of stuff. Well, there you have it. That was a tour of my favorite parts of the Pacific Heights neighborhood, from California in the Viz to Fillmore to Alta Plaza Park, Billionaires Row, the Lyon Street Steps. You can see so many reasons why Pacific Heights is such an incredible place to live. The walkability, the architecture, the weather. I love everything about living in Pacific Heights. It is a great neighborhood, one of the best in San Francisco.
