The city is your living room.
Pacific Avenue for the home address. Polk Street for the wandering. Nob Hill for the scenery. The sort of place where “just going for a walk” becomes the whole afternoon.

Small building.
Big SF energy.
Two addresses. One very good place to be. Welcome to The Dupe—a little slice of San Francisco with an outsized sense of self.

01 / THE PLACE
An original.
With a funny name.
Some buildings have a concierge.
This one has a point of view.
Character comes standard.
A 1922 building with two residences and a century’s head start on personality. The tiled roof, the tall windows, the trees out front. Some things don’t need rebranding.
The building factsCoolest is a state of mind.
Is it the coolest place to live in San Francisco? We’ve considered the evidence, ignored our obvious bias, and decided: absolutely. The fog declined to comment.

02 / THE BACKSTORY
Before the
group chat,
there was
Pacific Avenue.
San Francisco has always known how to make an entrance. This archival view catches Pacific Avenue in 1906—well before The Dupe’s recorded 1922 construction.
The street has changed. The city’s talent for being entirely itself? Very much intact.

A LITTLE HILL ASSIST
Premium hill access.
Some assembly required.
Drag the cable car.
Give your calves the afternoon off.
Drag the car up or down the hill. Arrow keys work, too.
Your hill. Your rules. Mostly gravity’s.
AN IMAGINARY HILL. A VERY SAN FRANCISCO FEELING.03 / A FEW GOOD RABBIT HOLES
Very local.
Mildly distracting.
Useful? Sometimes.
Extremely San Francisco? Always.

04 / PLOT YOUR ESCAPE
Check on our most famous neighbor.
Fog Today. For when looking out the window feels too analog.
The original ride-sharing platform.
The Cable Car Museum. Come for the history. Stay for the giant wheels.
Apparently, we have a namesake.
The Dupe, a 1916 silent film. Our version has considerably more plumbing.
Give your calves the afternoon off.
The 27 Bryant. Because sometimes the hill wins.
SOMEWHERE GOOD TO COME HOME TO.
Right here.
Very much here.
