An inarguable destination for luxury shopping, decadent dining, and vibrant nightlife, Cow Hollow is a lively neighborhood showcasing all the draws of San Francisco living. It’s one of the city’s busiest districts, with a close connection to its northern neighbor, the Marina. Due to their unified popularity, the streets are always crowded with organized chaos both day and night. Union Street is the central thoroughfare in the neighborhood, offering an array of swanky bars, eateries, spas, design-label clothiers, and more. At its northern border is Lombard Street, lined with touristy hotels and restaurants with more mainstream appeal. Cow Hollow is also home to its share of San Francisco history: The Octagon House, built in 1861, is one of only three remaining octagonal houses remaining in the city. The steep, rolling hills of Cow Hollow are lined with Victorian and Edwardian era single-family homes — along with Deco-era apartment buildings — boasting unparalleled views.
