Haight Ashbury
Haight Ashbury, located in San Francisco, is well known for its bohemian and hippie culture. However, what many may not know is that the area has an incredibly rich history and cultural diversity. It was first developed in 1883 with the influx of affluent residents but then went through a transformation when beatniks and the “flower children” settled there during the 1960s. Its iconic psychedelic mural façade remains today alongside notable restaurants, cafes, tattoo parlors, and vintage stores unique to the Haight. The neighborhood still maintains a diverse array of cultures which continues to attract visitors from all over the world interested in exploring its colorful story.
Most homes within this neighborhood are ornate and classic Grand Edwardian and Victorian architectural styles. Ashbury Heights has many tree-lined streets that are small, winding, and quietly 'above the fray.' Many elegant flats and apartment buildings, some built in the first half of the 20th century, dot the area.
The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and The TV show "That's So Raven" all had Ashbury Street addresses, making an Ashbury Heights address coveted by many and worthy of its stature.
