Homes for sale in this neighborhood range from condominiums in smaller buildings to grand-scale Victorians that could (and sometimes do) grace the cover of international magazines.
The "painted ladies" make their home in this neighborhood, and have been featured in opening credits for tv shows and plenty of movies. Homes for sale start for under $500,000 and quickly go up to several million dollars for grand scale Victorian homes that have been fully restored. There are a variety of "mansions" in the neighborhood, some of which are open to the public for viewing, others that have been sub-divided into multiple dwelling units, and some that have been converted into a bed and breakfast. Either way, the neighborhood is steeped in San Francisco history.
Dog owners and families with children love the area because of Alamo Square park, but if you have an aversion to tour buses than you are advised to avoid the area as pretty much all of the tour bus companies bring visitors and tourists to the park several times a day.
