San Francisco-North District Real Estate

San Francisco-North District Real Estate & Homes for Sale in California

The North District offers some of the most sought-after residential property in all of San Francisco. Pacific Heights is a privileged, elegant neighborhood of Victorian mansions, although many have been converted into condominiums, schools and international consulates. However, the legacy of luxury in the real estate market still persists and this quiet community is a prime San Francisco residential location. Another North District neighborhood is the Marina, a pretty community of luxurious Mediterranean-style homes, upscale shopping and trendy restaurants. The Marina is a young, vibrant neighborhood with panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz Island, and is home to the Marina Green, a mile-long pedestrian path perfect for numerous outdoor activities. The Palace of Fine Arts, a historic building used in the 1915 Pan Pacific Exposition -- which was completely restored and is leased by the Exploratorium and the Palace of Fine Arts Theater -- is also a landmark in the Marina. Fort Mason is a block east of the Marina and offers many cultural events, including the annual San Francisco Blues and Jazz Festival. Cow Hollow is located between Pacific Heights and the Marina along a small section of Union Street, a popular destination filled with specialty shops and restaurants that define the neighborhood. Cow Hollow is a friendly community composed of young professionals, and quaint Edwardian and Victorian homes with occasional new construction. Presidio Heights is a small, rare jewel in the North District architecturally renowned for its elegant mansions and ornate properties. Home prices in the North District reflect the area’s history and desirability ranging from $675,000 to more than $13.5 million. In addition to the Marina Green, Alta Plaza Park and Lafayette Park are popular recreational areas in the North.
