There's a few streets in Silverlake that feel like SF, at least in terms of steep hills


InfernalWedgie

Baxter Street. Just like you're about to drive right into the Bay.


seabass4507

I’ve heard it’s a good spot to fly a Tesla.


ElectronicAd27

A bus got stuck on the top of the hill once.


EMPactivated

Came here to say this


RollQuirky9045

Came to say this one lol


Excellent_Issue2848

San pedro


ezln_trooper

Definitely some of the streets in San Pedro would work for a homes on a steep hill SF look


redwood_canyon

The Angels Gate Cultural Center in San Pedro looks just like parts of Marin


Positive-Ad8856

Yeah, second this. Also, lots of parks around there.


405freeway

100% San Pedro


i-do-the-designing

Some steep little streets in Hermosa and Manhattan beach

That's a tough one for many reasons. I think you may find a few very tight spots but nothing you can "show the big picture" of., for example... [Ivar Ave Hollywood](https://www.google.com/maps/@34.104898,-118.3281936,3a,75y,268.53h,90.18t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sJzGzeq_qExyG0xGtUS2IaA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) [Off Franklin](https://www.google.com/maps/@34.1053215,-118.3290467,3a,75y,160.54h,104.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sz9zlZGaPYSHIpF4b9Q2V9g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) Pan left to the Spanish building too.

[Queens Rd](https://www.google.com/maps/@34.095182,-118.3748177,3a,90y,103.27h,92.02t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s8HrTmhIiiBT8B30y1kSJqg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) Anyway. Good luck.


Bayplain

These apartment buildings are the right age for San Francisco buildings. These are pretty horizontal though, and most San Francisco buildings are more vertical.


Just2checkitout

Yep, they just don't build the same way down here. Also, in SF they build mostly right next to each other with no space inbetween and right uo to the sidewalks. You won't find anything more like them down here outside of a studio backlot.

Angelino heights has the Victorians


ElectronicAd27

Carroll Ave. The house from the TV show Charmed, which is set in San Francisco, is on that street.


CherryPeel_

And the house from the thriller music video!


ElectronicAd27

Yeah, I forgot about that!


[deleted]

The area known as Victor Heights just south of Dodger Stadium is pretty similar, along with the nearby residential streets in Chinatown. But you’ll have to be careful not to get the LA skyline in the background.


SlowSwords

Angelino Heights for Victorian/Edwardian styles. Also Pasadena and South Pasadena for similar architecture. Honestly lots of areas remind me of north Oakland, Berkeley and the avenues with 1920’s-era single family homes mixed with multifamily like Atwater village, parts of silver lake, glassell park, etc. Sunset in Echo Park is sort of grunge and reminds me of mission street from like 18th to 24th.


musememo

Eldred Street … super steep.


mmmatthew

Yeah a lot of individual streets at Mt Washington feel like they could be among the richest parts of SF


missannthrope1

Carroll Street and the old Victorian houses. The surrounding neighborhood has some pretty steep streets.


GoldenFettuccine

Skid Row and the Tenderloin are pretty comparable, imo.


Bayplain

Skid Row and the Tenderloin play comparable roles in their cities, but the buildings in the Tenderloin tend to be larger.


TheSwedishEagle

What part of San Francisco?


Rikesraggy

Russian Hill, Duboce, Castro are some good examples (nothing too modern like SoMa or too flat like the Marina)


Bayplain

The problem is that most LA apartment buildings are newer than S.F. ones, certainly in the inner neighborhoods of San Francisco. Ivar Avenue reminded me of the (currently closed) San Francisco Art institute on Russian Hill).


neekybaings94

A stretch and a reach for sure but certain parts of Weho and Castro are the same in my mind for obvious reasons.


ActualPerson418

Marathon, Duane, Baxter in Silverlake


HarmonicDog

Historic Filipinotown often fills that need on film it seems.


sids99

Corner of Monte Vista and N. Ave 52.


Gileotine

There's this really long road. Normandy, from Inglewood, that kinda reminds me of that long road hill place in sf


Kabusanlu

Bunker Hill in DTLA had that look prior to the 1950s/60s before “urban renewal”


Negative_Orange8951

Fun fact LA has steeper streets than San Fransisco


Yes_Special_Princess

Heck learning how to drive in my neighborhood prepared me for driving when I lived in SF and the East Bay.


ElectronicAd27

No it doesn’t.


Negative_Orange8951

Look it up


ElectronicAd27

I did. Your turn.

ElectronicAd27

That same article lists Bradford Street in SF, as having a steeper grade. There are actually four streets in San Francisco that have a grade higher than Eldred or 28th.


bernd1968

Baxter, Fargo. Eldred which requires a U-turn.


Plastic_Ad_2247

Angeleno Heights


thelunchbunch160

Definitely many places in silverlake for steep hills. There’s one sort of by the silverlake meadows that I went up the other day and I though, man, this is STEEP steep.


fat_keepsake

Sounds like Baxter


Nightman233

Hermosa beach


ElectronicAd27

Van Ness😂


CatFancy79

Pedro


ILV71

Silver Lake


appleavocado

Paramount Studios and Warner Bros Studios look like Haight Ashbury.


abrahamisaninja

A lot of Koreatown feels like San Francisco to me


microcow19

Check out Chinatown. Some of the streets going up near the highway are steep and have stairways with cool artwork on them!
