Mission Dolores

Mission Dolores is one of my favorite neighborhoods in San Francisco! It is bordered by Dolores Park Eureka Valley/Castro and the Inner Mission District. It has some of the best restaurants and shopping in San Francisco and is super central. This neighborhood has some single family homes but is mostly 2-4 unit buildings with condos in the flat style. There are many Victorians and Edwardians and some new construction condos as well. There are many narrow side streets, lined with trees that give the neighborhood a European style charm. The weather is good here and it’s flat so super walkable and bikeable. Some of my favorite haunts are Delfina (my favorite Italian restaurant in San Francisco), Bi-Rite (an amazing boutique grocery with flowers, specialty items and more) and the Bi-Rite Creamery which has amazing homemade ice cream in exotic flavors like Balsamic Strawberry and Coffee Blossom Honey. Dolores Park is a favorite place in the city to picnic, enjoy a free outdoor concert, take your dog and enjoy beautiful downtown views! Mission Dolores church is the oldest standing building in San Francisco built in the 1700’s before San Francisco was part of the United States. When you live in Mission Dolores you don’t need to drive because there are so many great places within an easy walking distance.
