Neighborhoods
Real San Francisco neighborhoods with unique character
Lower Haight
Residents of the Lower Haight enjoy a great combination of eclectic, creative retail and some of the best parks in the city within an easy walk. The merchants and retailers of Haight Street offer a wide array of dining and shopping options, and the weather remains largely sunny and temperate, creating a highly walkable place to live.
Nestled in a shallow valley between Mint Hill in the Duboce Triangle, the Lower Haight also lies below Buena Vista Park to the west. Divisadero Street delineates the divide between the Upper Haight / Haight-Ashbury and the calmer, less touristy byways of the Lower Haight. A well-known bike route called The Wiggle snakes through the Lower Haight, making it one of the most used bike routes around. The Hayes Valley neighborhood lies directly east of the Lower Haight.

Duboce Triangle
Uniquely and centrally located in the city, residents of Duboce Triangle can easily access some of the best that San Francisco has to offer in the Haight, the Castro, the Lower Haight, and NOPA.
From the street-side gardens flanking Waller Street to the romping pups in Duboce Park, this sunny, walkable neighborhood is filled with amazing restaurants, excellent grocers, local talent, and easy access across the city and the peninsula. Shuttles to area hospitals as well as tech companies add flexibility.
Neighborhood spirit is solid. The Duboce Triangle Neighborhood Association (www.dtna.org) seeks to celebrate the best of the area, and the abundance of green space makes living here a pleasure. DTNA notes the neighborhood boundaries as loosely drawn around Market, Castro, Waller, Webster and Duboce Streets, and extending a block further in all directions.
Valencia Corridor
Bustling, vibrant, diverse, exciting….welcome to one of the city’s most unique retail streets. The Valencia Corridor offers over 100 remarkable vendors, merchants and restaurants devoted to bringing all the best of San Francisco to its residents. Apart from the walkability, the Mission District’s warm, sunny days make living here a real pleasure.
Served by two BART stations, ready access to MUNI busses and street cars, and centrally located relative to route 101 and I-80, this neighborhood makes getting around the city by foot or by transit a breeze.
The Valencia Corridor Merchants Association serves to foster improvements to the lives of residents, merchants, and restauranteurs along the street, while the low-rise residential street surrounding Valencia offer some of the best in neighborhood living.
