Billionaires’ Row: Outer Broadway Architecture

Neighborhood: Pacific Heights

Description

Join us for a stroll through the City’s most expensive and prestigious neighborhood, with unsurpassed views overlooking the Bay.

After the 1906 earthquake pummeled their Nob Hill enclaves, the wealthy titans of San Francisco became temporary nomads. With the landscape wiped clean, where in the city was the best place to put down roots? The best view of the Bay was located on the hills of Pacific Heights, where real estate was essentially up for grabs. The gold rush and timber barons of the 19th century, the oil and transportation tycoons of the 20th century, and more recently the 21st century tech titans have all lifted home prices into the stratosphere.

On this tour you’ll see exceptional architecture, the headquarters of a monumental rehab program, and a humble church that ignited a movement. Hear about the escapades of billionaires who found a home here, with plenty of stories that rarely see the light of day.
