Welcome to Hayes Valley

Dozens of boutiques and restaurants nestled in the heart of San Francisco. (Google Map)

In the last several years, our sunny enclave—wedged between Mid-Market, Lower Haight, and the Western Addition—has become a choice spot to while away an afternoon sipping craft beer and exploring local boutique retailers. At nightfall, our neighborhood bustles with both locals and visitors supporting a performing arts district held in high regard the world-over. Add to this annual events which foster community and encourage diversity, it is easy to see why Hayes Valley is often included in lists of top neighborhoods here in San Francisco and beyond.

The Hayes Valley Merchant’s Council would like to thank Avenue Greenlight and the San Francisco Council of District Merchants Associations’ (SFCDMA) Community Fund for their generous support of Hayes Valley Merchants.
