Waller St, Hayes Valley

To be blunt, Waller is the street that you park on when you go out on Haight. It is a short, centrally located street that runs parallel to this bustling street, filled with fun bars, great restaurants, and a truly eclectic crowd.

You kind of get the best of both worlds here - Waller is near the fun, bustling Haight, but is residential, peaceful, near some great parks, and has some nice homes with an abundance of parking. There is not much else to be said, other than that the biggest drawback is the sheer cost of living.

This street is located in the Haight Ashbury district. It runs from Golden Gate Park to Buena Vista. It is a not a very busy street compared to Haight, but it is pretty lively still. This area is pretty friendly and safe. It is close to many unique restaurants at Haight nearby. There are also many popular clothing and shoe stores. There is access to a few bus lines like the 43 and 71. This street would be a very nice place to live, and Haight is a place you definitely have to visit.

Okay, sure, it's a little funky and there are a lot of hippies and panhandlers. But it is the Haight and you have to expect a little reality. I love the eclecticism in everything from food to shopping to styles to entertainment. And you really can't beat being this close to Golden Gate Park and Buena Vista Park. It's next to Cole Valley and within walking distance of both the N-Judah Muni line and a whole bunch of bus lines. Grocery shopping is a little pricey nearby and it can occasionally get noisy--the kids who tend to live in ground-floor apartments like to party. But this is all part of the Haight-Ashbury scene.

it's good, but i'd rather more people not move in.
