SF District 7

Prestige, Architecture & Coastal Living

District 7 is home to some of the city’s most prestigious and visually iconic neighborhoods, offering a rare mix of architectural legacy, coastal access, and high-end urban living. With sweeping views of the bay, walkable retail corridors, and a balance of elegance and energy, this district is often considered the gold standard for San Francisco real estate.



At the heart of the district is Pacific Heights, a neighborhood known for its grand historic homes, classic Edwardian and Victorian architecture, and breathtaking views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Marin Headlands. Wide boulevards and quiet residential blocks are lined with stately mansions and apartment buildings that have stood for generations, offering both architectural pedigree and timeless charm.


To the west, Presidio Heights shares this elegance but with even more green space. Bordering the expansive Presidio National Park, residents enjoy direct access to wooded trails, golf courses, and scenic overlooks—all while living in a tranquil, architecturally cohesive community that feels tucked away yet incredibly connected.


On the eastern edge of the district, Cow Hollow adds a livelier rhythm, combining historic cottages and flats with bustling retail and dining options along Union Street. The neighborhood retains its charm while drawing those who enjoy a more social, walkable lifestyle in a clean, stylish setting.


Finally, The Marina sits right along the city’s northern waterfront, offering a distinctly coastal atmosphere. With parks like Crissy Field and Marina Green, it’s a go-to destination for jogging, picnics, or simply taking in the views. The Marina also features a mix of low-rise buildings and mid-century apartment homes, along with a strong selection of cafes, shops, and nightlife that give the area its own unique personality.
