Hayes Valley
Vibrant and dynamic, Hayes Valley buzzes as a cultural hub as well as one of the City’s most sought-after real estate markets. Offering boutique shops, restaurants, the arts, and new architecture projects—often condos—Hayes Valley is a trendsetting neighborhood that doesn’t forget its roots. Impressive yet quaint Victorian architecture still reigns on many blocks, where mature trees and gently sloping streets offer character and history. While single-family homes are an option in this neighborhood, it is more common to find Victorian flats as well as luxury, modern condos for sale. But don’t miss out on the charming, cozy carriage house homes that this area is also known for. Nestled between arteries Divisadero and Franklin between Market and McAllister, Hayes Valley’s central location is also a transportation hub for bus and bike riders, drivers, and walkers alike.
Don’t miss the shops, eats, and arts in the lively blocks near Patricia’s Green, a popular meeting place that functions like a town center. Check out local designers' artistry at popular clothing and jewelry boutique Wild Feather as well as Reliquary, which also offers home accessories. Diners turn to long-time favorite Suppenküche for hearty beers and German cuisine, and also duck into Chez Maman Hayes for a quintessential bistro experience. Epicureans love Petit Crenn, a darling pop-up at the helm of Michelin-rated Chef Dominique Crenn. Read more in this Bon Appétit article. Locals and visitors alike love the whimsy of Smuggler’s Cove, known for its vintage tiki decor and exotic rum cocktails, or Anina, whose spirit concoctions are as bright and colorful as its decor. Stroll around the neighborhood with an ice cream from Smitten or Salt & Straw. Catch a concert at SF Jazz, the City’s own world-class Jazz venue. The neighborhood also is home to SFUSD elementary and high schools, as well as several independent schools.
Just a few blocks West is Alamo Square, a charming neighborhood centered around its namesake park and known best for the Painted Ladies, a row of colorful, architecturally-significant Victorian mansions that borders the park. Offering spectacular views, a tennis court, lawns for sprawling, and pathways for dog walking, Alamo Square Park is a destination for locals and tourists alike. Home buyers will find a mix of condo-converted Victorian flats as well as grand mansions for sale, often with views and delightful character. The neighborhood’s old-world charm and its proximity to the conveniences of both Hayes Valley and the Divisadero Corridor offer the best of both worlds.
