Getting Here By Bus

The Muni #24 and #48 busses both stop at 24th and Castro. The J-Church stops at 24th and Church, which is a little under a 1/2 mile (.8 km) from Castro Street.

If you are visiting from downtown you have 2 ways to get here.

  • The first is to take either the K, L, M, T, or F line outbound to the Castro station. At the Castro station, go above ground and transfer to the 24 bus. It stops just outside Marcello's Pizza (tasty pizza if you need a bite!), near the southwest corner of the intersection. Take the 24 bus south to 24th street. We're just a few steps away from the 24th street stop. Instead of taking the #24 bus, you can walk over the hill -- it's a short but steep 7 block walk.
  • The second way to get here is to take the J line outbound to Church and 24th street. Once you get off at Church at 24th, make a right on 24th to head west. Walk approximately 3 blocks to Castro street and make a left. We're just a little ways up Castro, on the left side of the street.

Getting Here By Car

Parking in Noe Valley isn't always easy, but you can always park next door in the Walgreens parking lot parking lot for 1 hour regardless of where you are shopping. You can also often find parking west and east of Castro street on Jersey, 25th, or Clipper Streets.

Things to watch out for:

  • Parking meters are regularly enforced. To make your life easier, the parking meters do take the prepaid parking card. There are meters on Castro Street and on 24th Street.
  • Many streets in the area are subject to the residential parking permit program. Parts of Noe Valley are covered by the S and Z parking permit areas. Signs will indicate whether a particular street is in the permit area, and will limit parking to a certain amount of time (typically 2 hours).
  • Street sweeping happens regularly in the neighborhood, as it does in most of San Francisco. Look closely for street sweeping signs which will let you know when the side of the street where you wish to park is going to be swept. If you come upon an entire empty side of the street, there's a good chance that it's street sweeping time.
