Hayes Valley

McAllister Street to Oak Street, and Franklin Street to Fillmore Street
Map It

Now fashion plates from all over the Bay Area have easier access to Hayes Valley, the neighborhood USA Today called the “NoLiTa of SF.” The tree-lined Octavia Boulevard freeway link—which replaced the quake-damaged Central Freeway—debuted last September and ushers some 44,000 vehicles into the district daily. This fall, the SF Conservatory of Music moves into a painstakingly renovated 1914 Mission-style building at 50 Oak Street. The neighborhood’s finishing touch: artist Po Shu Wang’s 12 kaleidoscopes on Octavia, through which visitors can watch passing cars morph into psychedelic patterns. So SF.
