Potrero Hill

Potrero Hill

Potrero Hill’s brilliant sunshine and small town vibe captivates everyone who sets foot in the neighborhood’s clean, pedestrian-friendly streets. The steep inclines command cinematic views of the city, while fine amenities provide countless opportunities for fun and relaxation.

Bordered by 16th Street, Third Street, Cesar Chavez Street, and Potrero Avenue, “The Hill” feels fairly secluded because of the freeways and industrial landscape that surround it. This gives you some distance from the daily grind of San Francisco, letting you enjoy a slower pace of living, while surrounded by world class dining and amenities.

Real Estate

Despite its proximity to business hubs like Mission Bay and the San Francisco Design Center, Potrero Hill is primarily residential. Both families and young professionals who commute to the East Bay or the Peninsula for work call this place home.

The housing stock consists mostly of single-family homes and condominiums. Colorful and long-standing Victorians are prevalent in the neighborhood, along with modern masterpieces. A number of factories and warehouses have been converted into sleek lofts and live-work spaces as well.

Most homes have two to four bedrooms and one to four and a half bathrooms. Home sizes typically range from 1,000 to a little over 4,000 square feet.

Luxury homes can have as many as two master suites on top of regular bedrooms, along with high-end finishes like hardwood flooring and smooth countertops. Rear decks, private gardens, and chef’s kitchens are common features.

A Caltrain station and freeway access makes it easy for residents to get to and from the neighborhood. The San Francisco International (SFO) Airport is a 20-minute cab ride away.
