About
The Castro
The Castro is one of the world's most famous neighborhoods — a symbol of LGBTQ+ history, community resilience, and San Francisco's culture of acceptance. The neighborhood centers on the intersection of Castro and 18th Street, where rainbow flags line the streets and the iconic Castro Theatre anchors the block. Beyond its cultural significance, the Castro is simply a great neighborhood to live in: beautiful Victorian architecture, excellent restaurants and bars, and a lively commercial corridor. Twin Peaks provides a natural southern boundary, and the hilltop views from Corona Heights Park are some of the best in the city. The Castro continues to attract a diverse mix of longtime residents, young professionals, and newcomers.
