Cole Valley - San Francisco, CA
Area Guide
Cole Valley nestles up against the southwest corner of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. This tiny neighborhood contains mostly residential Victorian homes, with a small, densely packed three-block commercial district along Cole Street. Commuters use the mass transit station in the center of the district to reach downtown San Francisco in less than 20 minutes, and then they return home to Cole Valley's small-town atmosphere.
This neighborhood's small size means every corner of the community is within walking distance from your rental home. After work, relax and take in spectacular views of San Francisco from Tank Hill Park, which rises 600 feet above the city at the end of Belgrave Avenue. On weekends, enjoy Florentine Eggs Benedict for brunch at Zazie or have coffee with friends on Cafe Reverie's patio.
