Potrero Hill: Distinctive Neighborhood Vibes Depending on Which Hill You’re On.
Like the diverse group of states that the streets are named after, so goes the architecture, vibe, slope, and feel of Potrero Hill. Each zone has its own distinct personality shaped by proximity to 16th, 17th, 18th, and 20th Streets, the presence (or absence) of power lines, freeway noise from 101 or 280, and whether you’re closer to Dogpatch or the Mission District. Potrero Hill is a neighborhood of contrasts—where vibrant flats give way to dramatic slopes, modern condominiums stand next to century-old Victorians, and sunny skies meet fog-swept views.
Potrero Hill is a neighborhood of contrasts, offering something for everyone within its steep streets and varied architecture.
