| Featured Neighborhood - Cole Valley | April 6th, 2008 |
|
“Community” is the operative word for this micro-neighborhood anchored by the corner of Cole and Carl Streets, just three blocks south of the Haight Ashbury. Residents are mostly families and young professionals without the baby stroller traffice and there is no trace of the snootiness that has affected other parts of the city.
Cole Valley has great cache, and its desirability is reflected in the real estate prices. Single family homes easily pass the $1.5M mark and condo flats with good space and period features are hovering right around $1M. To my mind, the demarcation line pricewise for Cole Valley is about halfway between Waller and Frederick. Prices drop the closer you get to Haight Street, so the same place on Walleris a few notches less expensive than one on Frederick.

Despite its proximity to the Haight, anyone who has spent time in this small community knows Cole Valley has a distinct character all its own. 
Most of the businesses in Cole Valley are places where you can get real things done, like Cole Valley Hardware, the Val de Cole wine shop and the Say Cheese! cheese shop. There are also more than a dozen restaurants and cafés along Cole and part of Carl, some of which draw visitors from around the Bay Area, like EOS, one of the city’s top dining spots. Zazie’s is a magnet for locals seeking Sunday brunch.
