Homes in this area of Pacific Heights offer spectacular exterior views of the San Francisco Bay that stretch from the Golden Gate Bridge past Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf and around to Treasure Island and the Bay Bridge. The residents have equally spectacular fortunes and include the Peter Haas family, the Getty Mansion and Larry Ellison. George Lucas just moved in.
