Noe Valley is one of the more popular central SF destinations, with its ideal location and great weather making it a popular choice for many San Francisco residents.
Homes for sale range from tenancy-in-common (TIC) interests starting the under-$1,000,000 range to single-family homes costing millions of dollars. The homes in the neighborhood are an interesting mix of old and new, with most condominiums being located in smaller buildings that have between two and six units. There are also a smattering of unit buildings throughout the neighborhood.
Homes on the western slope of Noe have spectacular views of downtown and the Bay, while some of the homes on the eastern edge of Noe Valley will have nice Twin Peaks views. The J-Church streetcar (running along Church St.) provides Muni service to Noe Valley as do several bus lines. If you are commuting to the South Bay the freeway access to both I-280 and the 101 freeway is pretty quick and straightforward.
24th Street is the main commercial district of the neighborhood, with numerous restaurants and boutiques. There is a Whole Foods grocery store on 24th street, but consider yourself warned that getting a parking spot in their small lot takes some patience. Clipper is one of the busier neighborhood streets, carrying a fair amount of traffic from Portola to Dolores.
There are several small parks and open space areas scattered throughout the neighborhood, with the Elizabeth Courts (Douglass at 24th Street) being one of the many popular gathering spots.

It’s an eclectic mix of large Victorian and Edwardian single-family homes, condominiums in converted buildings, tenancies-in-common (TICs), and newer infill construction. Some homes higher on the hill have beautiful views of downtown or the Bay, and it’s common to see Victorian facades on homes that have been completely modernized on the interior.

Median sales price is calculated based on sold data and doesn’t account for seller concessions. Median price represents the point at which half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less. In smaller neighborhoods like many of those found in San Francisco, this metric is less likely to be influenced by extremely high or low sales prices that don’t represent the typical neighborhood home.
Days on Market indicates how quickly or slowly homes are selling in the neighborhood. The lower the days on market (DOM), the stronger the market is for sellers, all other things being equal.
The number of homes available for sale in active status at the end of a given month. Fewer homes available for sale may indicate a seasonal trend or market dynamics that favor a seller more than a buyer.
In strong or balanced markets, homes in San Francisco typically sell over asking. In a buyer’s market, homes will sell at list price or slightly under. If a home has had price reductions, the calculation is based on the last listed price.
Price per square foot is most useful when the homes are almost identical in size, age, layout and other factors important to buyers. Our experience suggests it is a more valuable metric in larger condo buildings and less valuable for homes in neighborhoods built with a diverse selection of styles, sizes, and ages.
We provide dynamic real estate market trends for neighborhoods across San Francisco based on the SFAR MLS sub-district area boundaries and data.

Noe Valley is known for its sunny microclimate and central location in San Francisco. Twin Peaks, just to the west, offers great shelter to Noe Valley from the fog and wind. To the north is the Castro neighborhood, to the south is Glen Park, and the MIssion is to the west. On an SFAR (San Francisco Association of Realtors) MLS (add internal link) map, Noe Valley is identified as neighborhood 5C.
The land that makes up the Noe Valley neighborhood was once the Rancho San Miguel, owned by José de Jesús Noé, the last mayor of Yerba Buena. His former ranch was later named in his memory as Noe Valley. More San Francisco history can be found at FoundSF.org. While it may not qualify as a historical landmark, a public toilet at the Noe Valley town square gained infamy for its $1.7 million price tag. You can visit it yourself and decide if it is worth the cost.
The commercial corridor for Noe Valley is 24th Street, home to many restaurants, boutiques, a post office, and several grocery stores. There are plenty of lovely parks scattered throughout the neighborhood including dog play areas, tennis and basketball courts, and areas for picnics, sunbathing, and playing.
Known for its sunny weather, Noe Valley attracts active residents who value both outdoor recreational time and quick freeway access for commuting to Silicon Valley. Like many San Francisco neighborhoods, Noe Valley offers a casual and welcoming vibe with dog bowls waiting at shop doors, parks with playgrounds and pet play areas, and local businesses that welcome both kids and their parents.
As with most San Francisco neighborhoods, Noe Valley is almost completely built-out and has no apparent or immediate large parcels for development. When looking for brand new construction in the neighborhood, you’ll more likely find small in-fill condo or unit buildings of 2-6 units, and single-family homes that have been remodeled from the foundation up.
