A central neighborhood, with Hayes Street shops and restaurants around Patricia’s Green, a park built where the Central Freeway once ran.
For decades the elevated Central Freeway ran through it. The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake damaged the structure, and after years of community meetings and ballot measures, the viaduct came down and was replaced by Octavia Boulevard. The land it freed up became Patricia's Green and a string of new homes and shops.
Hayes Street is lined with independent shops, coffee shops, and restaurants. Patricia's Green is a small park with a play structure, seating, and rotating public art.
Victorians and Edwardians line the side streets, alongside newer condominium buildings on the parcels the freeway left behind.
Hayes Valley is dense, traffic moves through on the boulevard, and parking is tight and mostly on the street.
Civic Center BART and Muni Metro and the Van Ness Muni Metro station are a short walk, and several bus lines connect the neighborhood to downtown and across the city.
