Potrero Hill
Neighborhood Intelligence

Potrero Hill (SF Planning's Potrero Hill Analysis Neighborhood) covers the hill east of US 101 along with the flatlands between it and San Francisco Bay, bounded by 16th Street and Mission Bay to the north and Cesar Chavez Street to the south. Along with the residential hill itself, the analysis neighborhood includes Dogpatch, the Central Waterfront, the Pier 70 shipyard district, and the former Potrero Power Station site. About 16,000 people live here.

The hill is mostly Victorian and Edwardian cottages, flats, and newer infill, while Dogpatch and the waterfront mix historic industrial buildings with recent mid-rise housing. RH-2 is the largest district, with RH-1, RH-3, RM-1, and RM-2 residential areas NC-2 commercial parcels on 18th and 20th Streets, and NCT-2 along 22nd Street in Dogpatch. The flats carry UMU (Urban Mixed Use), MUR, PDR-1-G, M-1, and M-2 zoning, along with the Pier 70 Mixed Use (P70-MU) and Potrero Power Station Mixed Use (PPS-MU) districts and a sliver of Mission Bay redevelopment area. Notable places include McKinley Square, the Potrero Hill Recreation Center, Jackson Playground, Esprit Park, and the Potrero Hill Branch Library.
