About

Hayes Valley

Hayes Valley underwent a remarkable transformation after the 1989 earthquake led to the demolition of an elevated freeway that once divided the neighborhood. What emerged was a walkable, design-forward district that's become one of the most coveted addresses in the city. The neighborhood is compact but remarkably complete — great coffee, acclaimed restaurants, independent fashion boutiques, and easy access to the performing arts at the nearby Davies Symphony Hall and SF Opera. Patricia's Green provides a small but beloved community gathering space. Hayes Valley attracts design professionals, musicians, and anyone who appreciates a neighborhood with genuine urban character and walkability.
