A mix of traditional families and gay and lesbian couples live in colorful Victorians or stucco fronted homes. The Castro Village shopping area reflects the contrasting tastes. House restorations are very popular here and many home owners have chipped off stucco facades to reveal Victorian house trim beneath. It includes Corona Heights and extends from Corbett Ave. to Dolores St. from Market Street to 22nd St. When it comes to happening neighborhoods, Eureka Valley/ Dolores Heights is certainly one of them. Most well known for being home to the Castro, a GLBTQ community epicenter and full of fabulous activities day or night, this neighborhood was once a quiet little nook in the 1880s. Provisions of every amenity make residents of Eureka Valley/ Dolores Height wonder if they ever have to leave. If they choose to, they can hop MUNI or BART for quick and convenient public transit. Also known for its well-maintained Victorians, the community is full of condos and beautifully restored single-family homes.
