Did you ever wish you were a hippie and live the “summer of love”? Well, if you did, not everything is lost. The Haight Ashbury district is the only place in San Francisco that still makes you feel like you’ve entered the 1960's. The Grateful Dead, known at the beginning as the Warlocks, used to live at 710 Ashbury, while Janis Joplin lived at 122 Lyon Street and the Jefferson Airplane at 2400 Fulton

But at the same time, today’s Haight Ashbury district has become a great commercial center divided in 2 areas. The Upper Haight covers the area from Stanyan to Masonic while the Lower Haight stretches from Divisidero to Webster.

If you ever walk northeast the Haight Ashbury district on the Alamo Square, you’ll find several splendid Victorian houses that residents call the Painted Ladies.The district was named after the California governor Henry Huntly Haight and Ashbury, one of San Francisco’s supervisors. Both of them played an important part in the planning of the Haight Ashbury district.

We invite you to visit this wonderful neighborhood, am amazing combination between remnants of the hippie culture and the modern technologies.
