Centered on its namesake park, this neighborhood is known for its large Victorian houses, most notably the super-photogenic “Painted Ladies,” with views of downtown.

What To Expect
Centrally located, NoPa is within easy reach of the livelier neighborhoods of Haight Ashbury and Hayes Valley. A recently renovated Divisadero Street has been turned into a hip boulevard, with drought-tolerant shrubs and trees down the median and “parklets” with benches and planter boxes gracing the sidewalks.

The Market
NoPa is one of the more architecturally intact neighborhoods in the city, Like the adjoining Haight-Ashbury District, it was spared devastation in the post-quake fire of 1906, and many of its homes are prime examples of the exuberant Victorian and early Edwardian architecture. Developers have set their sights on the Alamo Square neighborhood, with several multi-story projects in the works.
