SF District 8

Iconic Views, High-Rise Living & Historic Neighborhoods

District 8 sits at the heart of San Francisco—where historic charm, modern energy, and global recognition intersect. From the northern waterfront to downtown’s edge, this district blends old and new, luxury and legacy.


Russian Hill, Nob Hill, and Telegraph Hill offer dramatic views, early 20th-century architecture, and iconic sights like Lombard Street and Coit Tower, all just steps from downtown and the bay. Below the hills, North Beach remains one of the city’s most culturally distinct neighborhoods, known for its Italian roots, sidewalk cafes, and nightlife.


The Financial District and Barbary Coast anchor the city’s business core with high-rises, busy streets, and easy access to BART and the Ferry Building.


Downtown, Tenderloin, and Civic Center/Van Ness round out the district with theaters, galleries, and civic landmarks that reflect the city’s creative and institutional heart.



District 8 is where everything converges—classic character, iconic views, nonstop energy, and unmatched access to the best of San Francisco.
