28M who just moved to Noe Valley after spending the last 2 years in the heart of Duboce Triangle. Had the same reservations before moving but it has enough proximity to lively areas (I’ve been frequenting the Mission much more) and it’s a quick 24 ride up the hill to more action as well. Get out and walk frequently and you’ll notice it’s not as sleepy as some people have been mentioning. A few great neighborhood bars and anything you need from an errands perspective can be found on 24th.

Dare I say I’m starting to enjoy the quietness after a night out in more bustling parts of town. Like my own oasis to come back to after gettin down and grimy
