San Francisco’s Russian Hills neighborhood is an upscale residential area just a few blocks from Fisherman’s Wharf in the northernmost section of the iconic Golden Gate City. While all of San Francisco is set among steep streets and hills, Russian Hill is set on some of the most extreme grades in the city. It’s home to the iconic Lombard Street, a winding brick street that curves for just 600 feet around landscaped flowerbeds and impressive homes. Amazing views of the wharf and piers as well as the iconic Golden Gate Bridge make Russian Hill popular among residents and tourists looking for a great San Francisco experience. Locals head to Pol Street for an incredible selection of artisan coffee shops, cafes, and boutiques, or to Beach Street for more restaurant options including fresh seafood. Russian Hill is well within walking distance to other iconic neighborhoods like Pacific Heights and Hyde Park. If the hills are too much to bear, hop on one of the cable cars that whiz down Hyde Street to get a classic Bay Area experience and catch your breath. Russian Hill rentals range from upscale long-standing apartments to more modern developments near the water.
