Living in Mission Dolores

Mission Dolores is the historic heart of San Francisco — the neighborhood around Mission San Francisco de Asís (Mission Dolores), the 1791 adobe that is the oldest standing building in the city. Today it’s a graceful, highly desirable central neighborhood of well-preserved Victorian and Edwardian homes and flats, sitting in the sunny pocket between the Mission, the Castro, and Duboce Triangle. It blends deep history with one of the best lifestyles in the city: walkable, central, and sunny.

Its crown jewel is Dolores Park — the city’s favorite sunny gathering spot — with the restaurants and cafés of Valencia Street, the Castro, and 18th Street all within easy walking distance.
