Beautiful mansions, stunning hotels, and historical landmarks make up this upscale neighborhood, made famous from the 1800's wealth of gold and the Central Pacific Railroad.
From the Hindu word nabob, meaning a wealthy or powerful person, the benefactors of these enterprises were called "nobs." Remembered as flamboyant and decadent, this time period is engraved in the face of the neighborhood with its brass filigree fences and luxury homes.
Located north of the Civic Center and southwest of Chinatown, the Nob Hill is just a 5-minute walk to Grace Cathedral and a 10-minute walk to Union Square. The neighborhood is host to architecture lavish and out of the ordinary atop a hill of prestige. Residents of the high rises actually installed their own cable car line, still operating today, to combat the oppressively steep incline's wear on their horses.
