Sea Cliff: It's all about the views
For a place called Sea Cliff, the name certainly does it justice. With tall rockfaces jutting out from the South Bay, Sea Cliff looks like a scene out of a European travel brochure. Fat, towering palm trees adorn the cliffsides, with the Golden Gate Bridge standing tall in the distance. Its large stately homes and exquisite water views of the Pacific Ocean are truly sights to be seen in this San Francisco neighborhood. “Sea Cliff has a lot of multimillion-dollar homes with water views of San Francisco. People like it for the views and the community and because it’s a quieter area of the city,” says Alison Salzer, a Compass Realtor with nine years of home-selling experience. Sea Cliff has also been called home by many actors, artists and musicians, including Robin Williams, Sharon Stone and Jefferson Airplane guitarist Paul Kantner. All in all, its decadent lifestyle shows what California living can be all about.
Sea Cliff offers arguably some of the best views in San Francisco.

Homes designed by the masters
Sea Cliff is one of San Francisco’s eight master-planned residence parks. The neighborhood was officially established in 1913 with the construction of its first single-family home. Since then, these homes multiplied. Some were designed by renowned architects like Julia Morgan and Albert Farr and one on Sea Cliff Avenue was even allegedly used to hold stolen multimillion-dollar works of art, as reported by local online publication SF Gate. Some of the stately homes in Sea Cliff are built right into the cliffs. There is an elegant variety of styles, including Mediterranean and Tudor designs, but there are also a few condos around the neighborhood. Many are free-standing and detached, which is a rarity in San Francisco. Costs range between $800,000 for one-bedroom condos to $25 million for the much larger estates with five or six bedrooms. Homes sell after about 27 days on the market.

Beaches, golf and works of art
Residents are only minutes away from the water. China Beach, which was named for the Chinese fishermen who camped there in the mid-1800s, is a popular spot for local beachgoers. Those who’d prefer non-beach activities can explore the Lands End Trail or play a round at Lincoln Park's golf course. They can also check out the beautiful Lincoln Park Steps. Once a dull and damaged piece of infrastructure, the neighborhood decided to turn it into a work of art. All 52 steps are adorned with colored mosaic tiles, serving as a reminder that beauty can be found anywhere. The park is also by the Legion of Art, a museum that holds over 4,000 pieces of ancient and European art. This elegant building overlooks the Golden Gate Bridge.
