Pacific Heights

If you were a tech billionaire looking for a place to live in San Francisco, you’d probably be browsing the Pacific Heights area. 

This affluent enclave offers sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and the Palace of Fine Arts. Shop ‘til you drop down Fillmore Street, where boutique shops line both sides of the street. And to prove to your mates back home that you actually visited this area, snap a selfie from the top of the Lyon Street Steps.
