Potrero Hill
Living in Potrero Hill feels like keeping a secret. Think of it as Mayberry by the Bay. There are no undiscovered neighborhoods in San Francisco, but residents of the Hill have something special. Perched on the southeast side of the city, with sweeping city views, a perfectly framed downtown skyline, ships on the bay and the blinking lights of Oakland are all part of the show. The neighborhood feels alive during the day despite being mostly residential. There is a steady sidewalk culture of people coming and going. There are just enough amenities, one can walk out the door to buy wine, take the “littles” to a park, or sit at a sidewalk table for lunch. The Hill isn’t one to brag, but the real crookedest drive in San Francisco is Vermont Street, where the Big Wheel Races take place each spring.
San Francisco movie scenes that need a view are usually shot from the Hill. Everything from Steve McQueen’s car chase in Bullitt to street scenes in the latest Godzilla movie to forgettable commercials have been filmed here. The Castro, Cole Valley, Mission, South of Market and Hayes Valley — all bustling and vibrant parts of town —but none of them felt as homey as Potrero Hill.
