Telegraph Hill

Neighborhood Overview

Telegraph Hill

Telegraph Hill is home to the famous Coit Tower, one of the City's most recognizable landmarks, which rises 210 feet. Built in 1933 with a bequest from the infamous Lillie Hitchcock Coit, it affords majestic views all across the bay. The hill was originally called Loma Alta ("High Hill") by the Spaniards, followed by Goat Hill, and then arrived at its current moniker in 1862. The Filbert Steps are well-known for the gardens that flow down to Levi Plaza. Telegraph Hill, while mostly a residential neighborhood, is adjacent to North Beach's bustling nightlife. Today, Telegraph Hill is also famous for its flock of feral parrots, descendents from escaped or released pets, and the topic of a 2003 book and subsequent documentary entitled The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill.

Visitors will be invited to enjoy watching the City lights come up from the rear deck.

Opportunity Awaits!

Some exciting new additions are developing in the Civic Center and Mid-Market neighborhoods! With amenities that include some of the best access to San Francisco's public transportation system, it's surprising that an area so centrally located has remained largely free of new developments and residential grow. This phenomenon is in the process of changing! 

NUMBER OF THE DAY - 2.61%

That's the average interest rate on a 15-year fixed mortgage last week, a record low, according to Freddie Mac. The rate for a 30-year mortgage fell to 3.4 percent, slightly above the low of 3.31 percent in November. Buyers competing for a tight supply of homes for sale are pushing up prices, while low mortgages rates fuel demand.
