Welcome to the vibrant neighborhood of Noe Valley, San Francisco! It's home to a diverse range of locals who enjoy access to the city’s heritage and culture from a central location in San Francisco. In Noe Valley, you can take part in various activities such as dining in quaint cafes with delicious cuisines from all over the world, strolling along 24th Street for shopping discoveries, exploring nearby parks and getting active on sunny days—all while surrounded by a lovely urban landscape.

The Noe Valley Farmers’ Market encourages you to support local businesses. They've gone out of their way to help make the Saturday farmers market a reality. There are skyrocketing commercial rents and intense internet competition, so much so that those small local businesses that do so much for the community depend on this type of attention, loyalty, and support. When you come down to pick up your fruits and vegetables from your local farmers and commune with your neighbors, remember to also shop locally at the wonderful stores and restaurants that border the market.
Due west of Noe Valley is Twin Peaks, rising 922 feet to reach the second highest elevation in San Francisco (after Mt. Davidson). Twin Peaks offers spectacular views of the Bay Area and is a world-famous tourist attraction. Most visitors to Twin Peaks make their way to the north peak parking lot to enjoy 180-degree views of the Bay Area. Many people miss the opportunity to experience the coastal and grassland communities of this 64-acre park. Twin Peaks gives us a great idea of how San Francisco’s hills and peaks looked before the city's development. If you are hiking, expect strong winds, so dress appropriately to enjoy the amazing trails and plant life.
