Nob Hill Homes for Sale

Perched high above most of San Francisco, Nob Hill is surrounded by Russian Hill, Chinatown, Downtown, the Western Addition and Pacific Heights. As such, Nob Hill homes for sale not only have panoramic views that stretch out all the way to San Francisco Bay and beyond, they are also just steps away from virtually everything one could ever want—from bistros, bars and independently owned bookstores to galleries, fine dining restaurants, an imposing Gothic church and a beautiful, shady park.

Many people often associate Nob Hill with San Francisco's most famous luxury hotels—the Fairmont, the Huntington, the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins and the Stanford—as well as with wealth and privilege. The neighborhood gets its name, after all, from the Gold Rush nabobs who built their mansions here in the 19th century. Despite the fact that most of these are long gone and today's Nob Hill homes for sale are no longer palatial in scale, Nob Hill has retained its reputation for affluence.

While they still number among San Francisco's higher priced properties, Nob Hill homes for sale these days come with more reasonable price tags and the Nob Hill real estate market is dominated by condos and co-ops. There are still a few single-family homes as well, but these are rare and don't often come on the market.

The 1906 fire and earthquake destroyed most of the homes and buildings that once stood on Nob Hill and as such the majority of the structures you will find here were built from the early 20th century and onwards. Older buildings are Late Victorian and Edwardian, with faēades that range from the ornate to the more subdued neoclassical.
