Living in Lower Pacific Heights

Lower Pacific Heights is the flatter, more central stretch below Pacific Heights proper — generally the area south of California Street toward Geary, bordering Japantown and the Western Addition. It offers much of the charm of Pac Heights at a relatively more attainable entry point: a rich stock of Victorian and Edwardian flats, classic apartment buildings, and condos on tree-lined streets, with everything walkable and excellent transit. Its informal nickname, “LoPa,” reflects how popular it’s become with buyers who want a central, walkable address.

The neighborhood’s anchor is the upper Fillmore Street shopping district — one of the city’s best, lined with boutiques, cafés, and restaurants — with Japantown, Lafayette Park, and Alta Plaza Park all close by.
