Welcome to
Cole Valley
Cole Valley is a charming neighborhood nestled in the heart of San Francisco. Located just a few minutes away from the bustling Haight-Ashbury district, this cozy community offers a perfect blend of urban convenience and small-town charm. Cole Valley started as a pond and farmland, and then in the early 1920s, residents lobbied for new streetcar service to what was then considered the “Outer Lands” which included Cole Valley. In 1925, work began on the Duboce Tunnel route. Today, the line is still in service, and the N-Judah light rail train still stops right in the heart of Cole Valley’s business district.
