potrero hill
Its sunny microclimate and skyline views make Potrero Hill one of the city’s best kept secrets. The neighborhood’s steep streets were largely inhabited by factory and shipyard workers following the 1906 earthquake and until the dot-com boom when warehouses were turned into offices that brought young professionals to the area. The prevalence of Victorian, Art Deco and newer modern homes evidence the neighborhood’s growth. As true today as it was a century ago, Potrero Hill offers quiet respite without sacrificing urban conveniences.

At the northern base of Potrero Hill, the ‘Design District’ is home to major brands like Restoration Hardware and Miele as well as local artisans and craftspeople. The San Francisco Design Center features 100+ showrooms of fine home furnishings and interior design resources.
Located mid-way up the hill, 18th Street is lined with shops and restaurants that are perennial favorites. Chez Maman, Plow, and Goat hill Pizza are not to be missed. Afterward, make the short trek to Anchor Brewing Company and wash your meal down with a craft beer.
