Welcome to
Noe Valley
A dream for those who are looking for a spot with a little sunshine in a family friendly neighborhood with an easy commute to Downtown or Silicon Valley. With its steep hills, and fabulous views of the city and thriving shops, restaurants and cafes of 24th Street this diverse community offers more than just a bedroom community to its residents. Originally known as Horner's Addition, the neighborhood was named after John Horner, a San Francisco pioneer who purchased the land in the 1850s. Horner built a large mansion on the hill overlooking Noe Valley, which served as a focal point for the neighborhood's early development. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Noe Valley experienced a period of rapid growth and development, as more were attracted to the area's pleasant climate, stunning views, and easy access to downtown San Francisco. Many of the neighborhood's iconic Victorian and Edwardian homes were built during this time, and the neighborhood's commercial district began to take shape along 24th Street. In the decades that followed, Noe Valley continued to evolve and change with the times.
