Visitacion Valley

This large neighborhood known as Visitacion Valley holds plenty of pleasant surprises. It has direct access to the 101 Freeway (located on its eastern border), close proximity to a number of attractions and green spaces, and colorful streets.

Since it’s a bit removed from downtown San Francisco, Visitacion Valley (also known as Viz Valley) retains a semblance of a “locals only” feel. Residents are often engaged in community improvement projects that have since turned Visitacion Valley into an up-and-coming neighborhood that is always worth the visit. Corner stores, local businesses, various community gardens, and ethnic restaurants add life to the primarily residential locale.

Public transit used to be a bit of a stressor, but several transit options have recently opened for residents. This makes the beauty that surrounds Visitacion Valley easy to unlock and enjoy. Portola, Portola Place, Hunters Point, and Bayview are located nearby.
