Overlooking the Haight and Castro districts, the Buena Vista/Ashbury Heights area features big views and a hefty dose of classic San Francisco style. Victorian and Edwardian homes dot the hilly residential streets, along with some cute Craftsman houses and elegant Art Deco buildings. Shopping and dining at neighboring commercial districts are within walking distance.

The neighborhood is also home to Buena Vista Park, the oldest park in San Francisco. Climb the paths and stairways that wind through its forested slopes to check out the dazzling views or get in a workout on the tennis courts. With so much to offer, this neighborhood is a popular choice for families.
