Working for Noe Valley's Future
People love Noe Valley because it's a "real neighborhood," but preserving its neighborliness and livability means staying informed.

Founded in 1971, Friends of Noe Valley actively supports neighborhood improvement projects and gives Noe Valley residents a strong collective voice in matters that affect our community.

The Friends of Noe Valley are working closely with The Noe Valley Merchant's Association on a variety of commercial improvement projects. 24th Street is the heart of the Noe Valley and we are focused on efforts to ensure the vibrancy, commercial diversity, beautification and safety of the neighborhood.

Friends of Noe Valley is working to:
  • REVITALIZE the 24th Street commercial corridor including efforts to improve safety, establish clean-up and beautification programs, increase the diversity of shops and food establishments.
  • IMPROVE public spaces including the Sally Brunn/Noe Valley Library, Noe Courts and Douglass Park.
  • ORGANIZE events to bring neighbors together, including special topic meetings, Noe Valley History Month, SF Symphony's Neighborhood night and Concerts in Douglass Park.
