RUSSIAN HILL & NORTH BEACH
As one of San Francisco’s original “Seven Hills,” Russian Hill has developed into an upscale, hip neighborhood with a distinctly urban vibe. Often visited by tourists who take to the avenues to admire quintessential San Francisco architecture, the winding layout of the “crookedest street in the world,” and the iconic San Francisco cable cars, Russian Hill residents take great pride in their beautiful community and the many bars, cafes, and boutiques that make up the hidden gems of Polk and Hyde Streets.
Named after a Russian cemetery discovered in the area by Gold Rush era settlers, Russian Hill has long left its primitive gold mining days behind and has flourished into a vibrant neighborhood of sprawling Edwardian apartment buildings and expansive Mediterranean and Classic French mansions. Today, Russian Hill is home to an eclectic mix of retirees, veteran San Francisco residents, and a high-energy group of young professionals, all of whom have contributed to Russian Hill’s unique atmosphere and highly sought-after amenities and attractions.
Despite its urban atmosphere, Russian Hill’s most popular activities and attractions can be found outdoors. The nearby Joe DiMaggio Playground is often frequented by families with children who can enjoy the onsite playground and pool while the adults join in a leisurely match of tennis or bocce ball. Alternatively, the Ina Coolbrith Park is one of the neighborhood’s hidden gems and best-kept secrets, offering an oasis of calm far away from Russian Hill’s bustling streets. And, possibly the most well-known of the neighborhood’s green spaces, the Russian Hill Park is a scenic communal space featuring a children’s playground, community garden, enclosed dog park, and children’s playground centered around nearly 25,000 square feet of lush, perfectly manicured lawns.
For those searching for more lively entertainment, the food and bar scenes on nearby Hyde Street, Polk Street, and Columbus Ave, are unmatched. And the highly anticipated North Beach Festival is held annually in the nearby North Beach district and is recognized as the first outdoor street festival in the country. Visitors can expect an array of stalls and food vendors lining the bustling Grant Street, live music and entertainment, and a range of family-friendly games and activities to keep people of all ages entertained and amused.
