Why Go

The six Queen Anne houses on Steiner Street, built in the 1890s, appeared in countless films and the opening of 'Full House'. Alamo Square's hilltop lawn faces them, with City Hall and the skyline behind: a perfect picnic spot.

Tips

  • The houses are private homes; admire them from the park.
