Noe Valley is located in the central part of the city.  It is known for its charming Victorian homes, beautiful tree-lined streets, and friendly community atmosphere. It is a popular choice for families and young professionals who want to live in a quiet and safe area that is close to the city's main attractions.

Many of the homes here were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and have been beautifully preserved, featuring stunning architectural details such as bay windows, stained glass windows, and decorative moldings. In addition to these historic homes, there are also a number of newer condominium buildings and townhouses available in the area.

Noe Valley is well-served by public transportation, with several Muni bus lines running through the neighborhood, as well as the J-Church light rail line, which connects Noe Valley to downtown San Francisco and the rest of the city. 

The San Francisco Association of Realtors (who runs our local MLS) has very specific definitions of each neighborhood in San Francisco,
which can affect statistics, home values, and much more. Here is how Noe Valley (5C) is defined.
