The neighbourhoods

Where San Francisco actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

The Mission

The General Plan's Mission Area Plan puts the Mission between Guerrero Street on the west, Potrero Avenue on the east, Division Street on the north and Cesar Chavez Street on the south.

Glen Park

The city's Glen Park Community Plan says the neighborhood sits in a valley beside Glen Canyon, with winding streets and a village atmosphere.

Hayes Valley

The Market and Octavia Area Plan describes a California Register eligible Hayes Valley Historic District of Victorian and Edwardian houses built between 1860 and 1920, mostly of wood frame construction, and a separate Hayes Valley Commercial District.
