PARKING & PARKING TIPS:
If you don't know where to look, parking can be challenge in our neighborhood. We always encourage public transportation when possible. However, it's easy to find parking closest to Polk St., which is 2 blocks west. And there are several paid parking lots nearby:

  • Paid parking is available 2 blocks away at the Dulux paint store lot on the corner of Polk and Pacific, $6 weekdays and $7 Fri.-Sat. Arrangements can be made for event parking here.
  • Another lot is located on Pacific between Van Ness and Polk
  • The third lot is on Polk at Broadway adjacent to Walgreen's, which is two blocks away.Walk up Broadway, turn right on Hyde.
  • For quick day visits, there is "green" 10 minute parking on Hyde @ Pacific at the cafe across the street. Or grab a cup of coffee and park in Cafe Nook's driveway at Hyde @ Jackson for short stops.
  • Loading and unloading can be daunting in our corner: There is also a yellow loading zone across the street, but we also recommend pulling alongside our garage at the back of Lynch Street.

TRANSPORTATION:
The center of Russian Hill is accessible by the Hyde-Powell cable car and two Muni buses, the 41 (weekday rush hour only) and the 45. The 19 runs along Polk Street, stopping frequently from Ghirardelli Square to the Tenderloin.

The Hyde Street/Powell Cable Car stops right outside the building at Hyde and Pacific. Fare is $5 adults, children ride free. You can catch the cable car from Market street @ Powell

Taxis are also easily accessible from Polk and Pacific streets as well as on Hyde.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HISTORY: Jack Kerouac wrote some of his work in Neal Cassady’s tiny attic at 29 Russell Street. Armistead Maupin’s fictional Barbary Lane in Tales of the City was based on the beautifully landscaped Macondray Lane, but the lesser-known Havens Street is where Maupin lived when penning his page-turner.
