LOCAL FIELD GUIDE

Getting to know Noe Valley

24th Street cafés and the Saturday farmers market create a compact neighborhood center.

THE LOCAL ROUTINE

Start with the streets

Walk 24th Street then compare sunny and shaded hillside blocks.

Visit at more than one time of day. An attractive listing can feel quite different once you account for the actual walk to groceries, transit, parks and the nearest busy intersection.

HOUSING & DUE DILIGENCE

Look beyond the listing

Victorian and Edwardian homes can involve steep stairs, old foundations and garage alterations.

Request inspections, disclosures and permit history for the specific property. For condominiums, review association financials, insurance and any planned assessments.

One useful comparison

Before making an offer, compare this block with at least two nearby streets. Note building type, noise, grade, sun exposure, parking and your likely weekday routine.
