Visitors and residents fall in love with the steep hills, cable cars, jewel-box buildings, and dazzling vistas of Russian Hill. This area offers an abundance of Edwardian and Victorian apartments, with a handful of full-floor contemporary view units thrown in for good measure. These housing styles, set in quintessential San Francisco locations, are a hit with young couples, although single first-time buyers who are willing to squeeze into smaller square footage can also get a footing on the market here with a small one-bedroom or studio.
