Experience
Pacific Heights
The views of the Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin Headlands, Alcatraz, Angel Island and the East Bay are unparalleled from Pacific Heights. This is why the most influential and richest San Franciscans built their grand and historic estates in this neighborhood after the 1906 earthquake. The “Gold Coast” section of Broadway between Divisadero and the Lyon Street steps is home to affluent individuals who prefer their chateaux and mansions over the quaint Victorian homes that line this neighborhood. Pacific Heights has two parks, Lafayette and Alta Plaza.
