Mission Dolores
Anchored by the Mission Dolores, San Francisco's oldest surviving structure, the area was first inhabited by native American-Indians for its ideal climate and a nearby lake, which has long since been filled-in. Dolores Street, a wide boulevard with a center media populated by large Canary Palms, some of which are more than a century old, stretches from Market Street to the north all the way to San Jose Boulevard at the south. (The latter of which is the mouth to Interstate 280 leading to points on The Peninsula.)
Housing runs the gamut from single family homes, condominiums, tenancies-in-common, and apartment buildings. Bordered by Noe Valley to the west and the greater Mission district to the east, Mission Dolores boasts access to the vibrant Valencia corridor and hip Mission Street scenes. Both streets are the heart of a once Irish neighborhood that has given way to a largely Latino population over the last forty years. After the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, Valencia Street experienced a sort of renaissance with galleries, restaurants, and funky shops that pulsate with an urban feel. Most recently, wonderful eateries have recently sprouted along 18th Street between Dolores and Guerrero.
Above all else is Dolores Park, one of San Francisco's most celebrated open spaces. It includes tennis courts, basketball courts, a children's playground, picnic areas, and expansive lawns. Frequented by dog owners with their pets, families, bike riders, those exercising, and sunbathers on fair weathered days, this is truly one of The City's jewels and a centerpiece to the neighborhood.
