Hi, I'm Sabah and today we are going to explore Pacific Heights, one of San Francisco's most prestigious and iconic neighborhoods. Pacific Heights has frequently appeared in many books and movies, like the Pacific Heights movie or Pacific Heights novel. What makes this place so great? Let's go find out. Pacific Heights is located in one of the most scenic settings in San Francisco, offering sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, the Palace of Fine Arts, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. Pacific Heights residents usually enjoy a weather that is clearer than most parts of the city, thanks to its high elevation. The neighborhood is located in north central part of San Francisco and is bordered by California Street to the south, Van Ness Avenue to the east, Green Street to the north and Lion Street and Presidio Avenue to the west. Although Pacific Heights is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in San Francisco, this hasn't always been the case. Pacific Heights became a prime location only after the 1906 earthquake, when affluent families of Nob Hill lost their homes and started relocating and rebuilding their mansions on Pacific Heights high grounds. What better place to start our tour of Pacific Heights than the Gold Coast or the Billionaire's Row? These three elegant blocks along Broadway Street, starting from Lion Street all the way to Divisadero, embrace some of the city's most expensive houses and is home to some notable people like top executives and CEOs of tech companies, philanthropists and several affluent families.
