About the Neighborhood

Russian Hill is one of San Francisco’s most iconic neighborhoods — home to the famously crooked Lombard Street, sweeping views of the Bay and Alcatraz, and a rich literary and artistic history. The neighborhood blends elegant older residences with a lively street-level scene. Hyde Street cable car, North Beach at its doorstep, and Fisherman’s Wharf within walking distance make it one of the most connected neighborhoods in the city.

Why People Love It
  • Lombard Street — the world’s most crooked street, right in the neighborhood
  • Unobstructed Bay, Alcatraz, and Marin views from multiple vantage points
  • Hyde Street cable car connecting directly to downtown
  • Macondray Lane — one of SF’s most enchanting hidden alleys
  • Walking distance to North Beach, Fisherman’s Wharf, and the Embarcadero
  • Rich literary history — Jack Kerouac, Ina Coolbrith, and more called it home
