VISITACION VALLEY

Visitacion Valley is a sunny, diverse neighborhood in the southeastern section of San Francisco.  It is home to recent immigrants and long-time San Francisco families alike. The shining sun and rolling green hills help retain the pastoral charm in the midst of this active urban neighborhood. Visitacion Valley contains local landmarks, such as Eichler homes, a Julia Morgan-designed church, and the Visitacion Valley Greenway, as well the regional attractions of Candlestick Park and Cow Palace.

With easy access to the 101 Freeway, T-Third Light Rail Line and Cal-Train stations, residents and visitors have many choices for traveling within San Francisco and throughout the region.

The Leland Avenue/Bayshore Boulevard Commercial District, also known as "Downtown Vis Valley" is the heart of the neighborhood with a concentration of businesses that serve local families.  Neighbors meet each other and learn about area goings-on at the Joe Leland Café and pick up chow fun at G&L Bakery and Restaurant or fresh produce at the lively Casa Lopez.  This intimate-feeling corridor will soon be enhanced by new street trees and streetscape improvements.

New development at the former Schlage Lock facility and Executive Park, and community amenities such as a new branch library, will also draw local residents to the commercial corridor in just a few years.
