REAL ESTATE • First Mover
The residential boom in Diamond Heights began as a SPUR redevelopment project intended to illustrate how San Francisco could build residences with its hills instead of against them, but a drive down Gold Mine Drive also reveals pre-build homes from the 1800s that withstood the 1906 quake.
Seventeen homes sold across Diamond Heights’ three hills — Red Rock Heights, Gold Mine Hill, and Fairmount Heights — in the last 12 months, with a median sales price of $12.3M, per Compass. In that time, 29 condos moved in the area as well, spurred by declining prices. Here, three current listings reflecting what some of the highest peaks in SF have to offer:
