City living rarely offers a residential area as dramatically perched as Sea Cliff. It is high enough above sea level to be out of reach of the waves, yet close enough to the shore to share with its residents a sense of intimacy with the salt spray and the sound of the surf. Its winding landscaped streets, beautiful houses and no overhead wiring attract many sightseers. There are also two beaches here; China Beach and Baker Beach. Home of the Sutro Bath Ruins and the ever popular Cliffhouse Restaurant, the Outer Richmond is rich with history as well as scenic views. Its laid back, beach-town quality, yet dignified demeanor make it feel removed from the city. Easy public transportation as well as a burgeoning restaurant and local shop scene, make it a great area for San Franciscans interested in a community feel with convenient proximity to the bustle of the city’s main hub.
