Welcome to Hayes Valley

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

Situated between Mid-Market, Lower Haight, and the Western Addition—Hayes Valley is a choice spot for an afternoon sipping craft beer, an evening of delicious dining, and exploring local boutique retailers. At nightfall, our neighborhood bustles with both locals and visitors supporting a performing arts district, from jazz to opera. 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.
