Owning In Pacific Heights
Living in Pacific Heights means views are never far away. Alta Plaza Park crowns the western side of the neighborhood, where terraced lawns and a broad staircase lead to a summit overlooking the Marina, the Presidio, and the bay. To the east, Lafayette Park offers landscaped grounds, tennis courts, and picnic areas with city views. Fillmore Street serves as the main commercial street, lined with boutiques, restaurants, and cafes, while Divisadero Street and California Street add more options. The Presidio lies just to the west, with trails, overlooks, and open space, and the shops of Union Street and the waterfront of the Marina are a short walk downhill.
Pacific Heights began developing in the late nineteenth century, and its architecture tells the story of the decades that followed. Many early Victorians gave way to larger residences in the early twentieth century, especially after the great earthquake. Today the streets showcase Victorian, Edwardian, Mission Revival, and Chateau styles, with landmark homes such as the Haas-Lilienthal House, the Spreckels Mansion, and the Whittier Mansion. Stately single-family homes sit beside elegant apartments and condominiums, many with views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay.
