Russian Hill, located just north of Nob Hill, offers many of the wonderful Bay views, steep streets, tall apartment buildings and the sounds of passing cable cars that San Francisco is known around the world for. A true potpourri of real estate exists on Russian Hill from traditional Edwardian flats, to luxury condominiums to grand homes, all close to the City's downtown and the Financial District.  While the main commercial district of Polk Street features many wonderful restaurants, bars and small retail shops, nearby Hyde Street from Jackson to Broadway is celebrated for its intimate bistros and trendy restaurants.

Russian Hill is roughly bounded by Van Ness Avenue to the west, Bay Street to the north, Coulmbus Avenue to the east and Broadway Street to the south.
