Aerial view of Lombard Street, the famous crooked street in Russian Hill.

Perched above the city with postcard views in every direction, Russian Hill is classic San Francisco at its most iconic. Known for its charming streets, historic architecture, and that famously crooked Lombard Street, the neighborhood offers a perfect blend of elegance and energy. Walkable and well-connected, Russian Hill is close to North Beach, the Marina, and the waterfront, yet feels pleasantly tucked away. Residents enjoy scenic stairways, quiet cafes, neighborhood markets, and dreamy bay views at every turn. Despite being in the middle of the action, Russian Hill manages to stay serene, a place where professionals, creatives, and longtime locals settle in and stay put. Whether you're climbing hills for the workout or the view, this neighborhood rewards you with timeless charm and a front-row seat to the best of the city.

Yeah, the hills are intense but so are the views and the sunsets you get living up here. Worth every step!
