Lower Haight

Oak Street to Duboce Avenue, and Market Street to Divisadero Street.

The Lower Haight’s nonconformist rep can be a double-edged sword, attracting some SFers to its funky restaurants and influential art galleries, while deterring others who still consider the blocks between Fillmore and Divis too grungy for comfort. But recent talk of a merchant’s association hints that things may be changing, if business owners such as Idle Hand Tattoo artist T. J. Hernandez have their way. “Our main focus is cleanliness and police presence,” says Hernandez. Landlords are quickly catching on, revamping their street-level vacancies in hopes of attracting new retailers—the old Horseshoe coffee house is one storefront that needs new life.
