Neighborhood Marketplace Revitalization
BAYVIEW
The Bayview Hunters Point is a historical African American district in the southeastern part of San Francisco and is home to a plethora of soul food cafes, jazz and blues clubs, the historic Bayview Opera House, Candlestick Park and more. Residential streets are lined with decorative gardens that are cared for by residents and friends of the Bayview. Today the Bayview is home to a high concentration of families with children, new housing and retail developments.
As you stroll down the commercial corridor you will see bright murals painted by local artists, both reflecting and commemorating African American culture and heritage and neighborhood diversity.
Third Street offers delicious dining choices, family owned cafes with internet access, a community art gallery, and a beautiful town plaza where folks can gather for events such as the International African Marketplace or shop for fresh produce at the Farmers Market. The Bayview district is on the pulse of becoming the next commercial retail destination. Stop by and experience the renaissance.
