About Hayes Valley

Hayes Valley is the small grid around Hayes Street between Franklin and Divisadero, and it has the best walkability-to-size ratio in the city. Housing is mostly Edwardian flats above the shops plus a handful of newer infill buildings on Octavia. Two- and three-bedroom flats are the norm.

Getting to work from Hayes Valley

Van Ness and Civic Center BART are both a short walk, the underground Muni lines stop at Van Ness, and the 21 Hayes runs east to downtown. Many residents simply walk to Civic Center and mid-Market offices.

Who shares apartments here

Professionals in their late 20s and 30s, symphony and opera staff, restaurant industry people, and couples. Quieter and less transient than the Mission.

The trade-off

It's expensive for the square footage and there's almost no parking. Lower Haight is a ten-minute walk west and consistently a few hundred dollars cheaper per room.
