​The Castro District, commonly referred to as the Castro, is a neighborhood in Eureka Valley, San Francisco.  Having transformed from a working-class neighborhood through the 1960s and 1970s, the Castro remains one of the most prominent symbols of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) activism and events in the world. Some notable attractions include The Castro Theater, San Francisco Street Cars, a vast array of shopping, eateries and nightlife, the nearby Mission Dolores, San Francisco's first standing structure, and one of the community's favorites- Dolores Park.

The Castro Street Fair was founded by Harvey Milk in 1974 to celebrate the creativity of the Castro community, with all proceeds going to charity ($55,000 was donated in 2017 alone). Artists, organizations and live entertainers flood the streets to connect with locals and visitors while promoting causes dear to the LGBTQ community.

"A town within a City", that's the feeling you get while living in this quaint, pretty little village which has everything to offer without you having the leave the neighborhood.   Cortland Avenue, the main commercial strip of the neighborhood offers  many fantastic restaurants and bakeries including a Michelin Star Restaurant, a Wine Bar, two other bars, one of which Wild Side West, a bar for women,  dates back to 1962.  There is also Good Life, a  supermarket, a bank, a library, a pet store, several florists and multiple salons.    The Strip is quickly becoming a Hot Spot for foodies and high-end diners.  If you get bored of the restaurant scene on Cortland Avenue there is also the Mission Street Corridor which borders the west side of the neighborhood, in addition to several high-end restaurants by Precita Park (the north side of the neighborhood.  The architecture styles in the range from Victorians from the 1800's, Edwardians from the early 1900's,  Mid-Century Homes, Ultra-Modern newly renovated homes, and some multi-unit condominiums and TIC's (Ask me about TIC's if you'd like more information).  Some of them have incredible views of the City including city, park, water bay and bridge views.  Known for being one of the most dog-friendly neighborhoods in San Francisco, Bernal Heights has Four Large Parks:  Bernal Heights Park is a off-leash dog haven, offers  360-degree view of the city from atop.  Other parks include Holly Park, San Francisco first public park, Precita Park, and St. Mary's Park.  It is a very sought after urban oasis for young families and couples.  It offers a relaxing lifestyle with the conveniences of city living.

​Hayes Valley is a cool, revitalized neighborhood between Alamo Square and Civic Center.  Victorian, Queen Anne, and Edwardian townhouses are mixed with high-end boutiques and restaurants.  The neighborhood gets its name from Hayes Street, which was named for Thomas Hayes, San Francisco's county clerk from 1853 to 1856 who also started the first Market Street Railway franchise.

Twenty years ago, the thought of finding one of San Francisco's ultra-chic corridors in Hayes Valley would have been considered absurd. Where the crack houses and tenements once stood, now there are trendy fashion boutiques, SoHo-style funky art galleries, high-end interior-decorating shops, top-notch restaurants and hip nightspots.

​The dot-com boom made it hip to live and work in the neighborhood. SOMA homes for sale are diverse in style and history and allow residents to easily navigate the walkable neighborhood. Luxury loft housing filled the old printing factories. People discovered the Victorian cottages tucked into the quiet alleys between the broad streets. 

Yerba Buena Gardens and South Park are often filled with people eating lunch on the grass in front of the once-exclusive mansions. Nondescript warehouses have been converted into tech-company offices. The area of SOMA known as Mid-Market has seen a building boom as of late, thanks to local tech heavyweights like Twitter, Uber & Square which has headquarters in the neighborhood.
