Presidio Heights made headlines in 2017 when one of its private streets was auctioned off to the highest bidder after taxes weren’t paid for 10-plus years. Awkward! The residents of Presidio Terrace got their street back when the City rescinded the auction sale, but those buyers are suing the City to rescind the rescission. Got that?
But that’s not all that Presidio Heights is known for. It’s a neighborhood of grand-scale homes, where prominent local politicians rub elbows with their maybe-not-so-famous neighbors.

Presidio Heights Neighborhood Vibe
Sum it up like this: swanky, understated, and quintessentially San Francisco. Upscale shopping options are plentiful in Laurel Village and on Sacramento Street, and urban outdoor athletes love to take advantage of the Presidio. Just inside the Presidio, Julius Kahn playground awaits the little ones.
Popular Presidio Heights Home Styles
The cream of the crop: a Who’s Who of Famous San Francisco Architects designed some of the stately homes in Presidio Heights — Bernard Maybeck, Ernest Coxhead, Julia Morgan, William F. Knowles, and Willis Polk, to name a few. Many of the grand homes have been divided into condominiums over time, but single-family homes still abound.
Getting Around in Presidio Heights
A couple of bus lines skirt the neighborhood, and drivers who commute to downtown should dedicate a chunk of time in the morning to wrestle with traffic. Commuters to the North Bay have a relatively easy approach to the Golden Gate Bridge, but people traveling south or across the Bay Bridge will spend some time cooling their heels in traffic getting across town.

Median sales price is calculated based on sold data and doesn’t account for seller concessions. Median price represents the point at which half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less. In smaller neighborhoods like many of those found in San Francisco, this metric is less likely to be influenced by extremely high or low sales prices that don’t represent the typical neighborhood home.
Days on Market indicates how quickly or slowly homes are selling in the neighborhood. The lower the days on market (DOM), the stronger the market is for sellers, all other things being equal.
The number of homes available for sale in active status at the end of a given month. Fewer homes available for sale may indicate a seasonal trend or market dynamics that favor a seller more than a buyer.
In strong or balanced markets, homes in San Francisco typically sell over asking. In a buyer’s market, homes will sell at list price or slightly under. If a home has had price reductions, the calculation is based on the last listed price.
Price per square foot is most useful when the homes are almost identical in size, age, layout and other factors important to buyers. Our experience suggests it is a more valuable metric in larger condo buildings and less valuable for homes in neighborhoods built with a diverse selection of styles, sizes, and ages.

Presidio Heights is an exceptionally affluent and elegant neighborhood bordered by the Presidio National Park to the north, Laurel Heights to the south, Pacific Heights to the east and the Inner Richmond to the west. Sacramento Street is the neighborhood shopping corridor, with additional shops along California Street and nearby Clement Street. On an SFAR (San Francisco Association of Realtors) MLS (add internal link) map, Presidio Heights is identified as neighborhood 7C.
Serene, tree-lined Presidio Heights is home to a graceful collection of homes noteworthy for their architecture or historic ownership, including the Tudor-inspired 1909 Roos House, designed by Bernard Maybeck. Other early San Francisco architects like George Applegarth and Julia Morgan completed commissions for some of the city’s most successful residents in Presidio Heights. The neighborhood also borders the Presidio, a remarkable 1,500-acre national park known for its spectacular views and extensive recreational features.
Take in some of the city’s best views while getting in your 10,000 daily steps at the Lyon Street Stairs. Presidio Heights offers a bit of Disney magic at The Walt Disney Family Museum, which presents an inspirational journey through the life and legacy of the celebrated animator. On the border of Presidio Heights and Pacific Heights is the Swedenborgian Church, the only Catholic Church in San Francisco designated as a National Historic Landmark. Finally, don’t miss the Andy Goldsworthy Wood Line, a 1,200-foot sculpture made of eucalyptus branches claimed from the Presidio’s program to rejuvenate the park’s forest.
Affluent and exclusive estates on large lots with views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Presidio Parklands define the neighborhood’s real estate vibe. Residents love the historic homes, quiet atmosphere, abundant shopping along California and Sacramento Streets, and easy access to both Marin County and downtown San Francisco.
Where can I find new construction in Presidio Heights?
Like many San Francisco neighborhoods, Presidio Heights was completed long ago. Infill development on smaller lots and redevelopment of smaller buildings into larger, multi-unit developments do occur throughout the neighborhood, with buildings along Sacramento and California Streets offering prime opportunities. Along the southwest side of the neighborhood, the California Pacific Medical Campus will be repurposed and redeveloped into residential use in a mix of architectural styles. The former Laurel Heights campus of the University of California San Francisco is also slated for redevelopment into a residential and mixed-use community with a park-like setting.
