Neighborhood

Located just one mile north of Downtown San Francisco, Cathedral Hill was named after the breathtaking Cathedral of Saint Mary that sits on the north end of the neighborhood. As one of San Francisco’s most densely populated areas, Cathedral Hill packs a lot of attractions into a tight section of town. The Opera Plaza Theater features showings of new hit movies and classic older films throughout the week.

Gough Street and Van Ness Avenue run through Cathedral Hill/Intermission. There’s no shortage of cool restaurants and bars here, and they’re all near neighborhood apartments for rent. Pläj Scandinavian Restaurant & Bar is a neat place known for their octopus salad. On sunny summer days, residents head to Jefferson Square Park to watch recreational sports or take their dogs to the off-leash pet park.

School data provided by Great Schools The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
