Brimming with charm, upscale Noe Valley is one of San Francisco’s most desirable enclaves, especially for families. Handsome, impeccably renovated Victorian and Edwardians sit on immaculate, quiet streets that surround enticing shopping and dining areas. Noe Valley also gets more sunshine than most parts of the city. Several parks, including Douglass Dog Park can also be found right in the neighborhood, while Dolores Park is just a stone’s throw away.

Neighborhood MUNI and BART lines provide convenient transportation to downtown and other sections of San Francisco. And the 101 freeway is also close.
