    "Alta Plaza and Lafayette Parks are dog heaven, but especially Alta Plaza Park. It's a gorgeous view on the side of the park facing the Marina and every night at about 5 people bring their dogs for impromptu play sessions."

    "I've lived in this neighborhood for just about 4 years and it is still my favorite neighbors to live in the city - it's adjacent to several different downtowns (Polk, Fillmore, Union) and is a considerably safe and well maintained area with respectful neighborhoods. As crime has gotten worse in the city overall, I've noticed homelessness creeping into the area more and more, the only downside."

    "Pacific Heights provides a friendly and quiet neighborhood feel while still living in a big city. There are so many parks to go running in and adorable restaurants and shops to go into. I also love all the restaurants on Fillmore Street. They have a fun neighborhood feel to them. I love Fillmore Street at Christmas time, and I also love football season in Pac Heights—it feels like everyone is celebrating."
