Presidio Heights

 

Located just south of the Presidio urban forest, Presidio Heights is one of San Francisco’s most revered neighborhoods. Within walking distance of some of the city’s best trails and scenic viewpoints, Presidio Heights is an enclave of luxury homes with a rarefied atmosphere.

 

Presidio Heights’ real estate exudes charm and sophistication. From stately Victorian and Edwardian single-family homes to grand historic mansions, these properties are among San Francisco’s most luxurious. Presidio Heights homes typically feature exquisite attention to detail throughout, with lavish interiors and gorgeous secluded backyards. The wonderful backdrop of the Presidio makes for spectacular views as San Francisco’s iconic morning fog hugs the Golden Gate Bridge.

 

This neighborhood represents the upper echelons of San Francisco’s real estate. Consequently, it attracts residents who are looking for a permanent place to call home. While numerous Silicon Valley tech moguls have moved into the neighborhood in recent years, many properties have remained within the same families for decades. Presidio Heights is a place of calm refinement, particularly attractive to affluent families looking to settle down in one of the city’s finest neighborhoods.

 

Local shops and restaurants are geared toward the neighborhood’s affluent and settled residents. Spruce, Garibaldis, Ella’s, Sorrel, and Sociale all offer exquisite fine dining, with masterful chefs utilizing seasonal ingredients to create magnificent dishes. Sweet Things and As Quoted are delectable high-end bakeries. Laureate can be visited for coffee in the morning or cocktails at night. Presidio Heights’ nightlife is subdued and sophisticated, while busier sections such as Divisadero and Fillmore Street are just a few blocks to the east, and Clement Street’s strip of hip boutiques and high-quality international cuisine runs directly to the west.

 

Presidio Heights’ adjacency to the sprawling 1,500-acre Presidio is a huge part of what makes the neighborhood so sought after. Boasting hills, forests, and countless scenic vistas, this magnificent green space is home to institutions such as the Walt Disney Family Museum and the Palace of Fine Arts. There’s also a spectacular 18-hole golf course lined with Eucalyptus and Monterey Pine trees. The Presidio Golf Course covers 6,500 yards of hilly terrain, making for challenging play and providing spectacular Bayfront views.
