Enjoy nature at its best by renting in Telegraph Hill

Among San Francisco’s top destinations for apartment renters, Telegraph Hill comes as a breath of fresh air.

Whether you’re a young professional working in the Financial District or a careless artist wandering through life, the eclectic neighborhood is the right place for you.

Rather quiet yet far from boring, the historic district features a fusion of beautiful houses showing off impressive Victorian architecture, narrow streets, old wooden steps, brightly colored flora and magnificent gardens.

Perfect for hiking and bird watching, this spectacle of nature will enchant any mellow soul, bird aficionado or pet-owner. Outdoorsy people will love it here. Redwood trees, charming alleys, lots and lots of stairs, lush greenery, feral parrots (primarily the Red-masked Parakeets featured in The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill), Filbert street, Pioneer Park, and Coit Tower are just a few of the local charms that make this area so unique.

Telegraph Hill is also varied in terms of housing and offers plenty of options for everyone, from bohemian artists to energetic students, active pet owners and families with kids. The neighborhood is easily accessible by public transportation and extremely walkable (a bit hilly, it’s true, but how else could you enjoy those incredible views of the Bay) and comprises a mix of quaint lodges, row houses and charismatic buildings that merge perfectly in a dense, yet delightfully pleasant urban picture.

If you’re planning a walk down the winding roads of the Telegraph, don’t miss the chance to have the best espresso in town at Caffe Trieste or have a taste of authentic Italian delis at Molinari Delicatessen. Or maybe you’d like to get a tattoo at Ed Hardy’s Tattoo City.
