Nob Hill is an affluent district, home to many of the city’s upper class families. Sometimes it is sarcastically referred to as Snob Hill (in fact, “Nob” is shortened from “nabob,” a 19th century slang term synonymous with “snob”). The area was settled in the rapid urbanization happening in the city in the late 19th century. Because of the views and its central position, it became an exclusive enclave of the rich and famous on the west coast who built large mansions in the neighborhood.Views from the top of the hill (and especially from the Top of the Mark) extend in all directions around the San Francisco Bay Area. The property that Grace Cathedral encompasses reaches the top of Nob Hill at its North Western point.

As such, Nob Hill is often a San Francisco set-piece scene used in many movies, especially if a high-speed chase is called for.
