Living the High Life, Literally
Picture this: sprawling mansions with views that would make Gatsby shed a tear (because let's face it, his yacht wasn't that impressive). Whispers of venture capitalists and hedge fund managers wafting through the air (okay, maybe not literally, but you get the idea). Median home price here? A cool $3.65 million. That's enough to buy a decent vineyard and a small island nation, all before brunch.
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
But Wait, There's More! (Because of Course There Is)
Presidio Heights isn't just about obscene opulence (although there's plenty of that). It also boasts:
- Tranquility tucked away from the hustle and bustle, it offers a surprising oasis of peace (though your neighbors' Ferraris might disagree).
- Top-Rated Schools: Because nothing says "winning at life" like ensuring your offspring get into Stanford before they can even spell it.
- Proximity to Nature: Want a break from the billionaire game? Take a stroll through the majestic Presidio National Park, a constant reminder that there are things more beautiful than money (well, maybe not that much more beautiful).

QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
- House Sit for the Elite: Become a professional house sitter and get paid to live in luxury (while the owners are off vacationing on their private yacht, naturally).
- Become a Paparazzi: Catch a glimpse of a tech mogul emerging from their mansion and maybe, just maybe, they'll shower you with cash (it's a long shot, but hey, a man can dream).
- Pack a Picnic Basket: Head to the Presidio National Park for a scenic lunch and pretend you live in a sprawling estate overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge (because technically, you are, just not the kind with a private chef).
