Cow Hollow is old-time vernacular for the valley lying west of Van Ness Ave. between Russian Hill and the Presidio.
The name nowadays is applied mainly to the locality around Union Street’s 1600 to 2200 blocks, a patch of ex-cow country where shoppers have replaced the milkmaids and cash registers ring more briskly than the cow bells ever did.
In post-Gold Rush days, this district was a green dale watered by the surrounding hills and small creeks seeking the Bay. The first dairy was established there in 1861, and 30 others followed. Soon hundreds of cows shared the grasslands with wild ducks, quail and rabbits.
In the mid-19th century, Cow Hollow was a marshy area used for grazing cattle. As San Francisco expanded, the neighborhood transformed into a residential and commercial area. Today, it is recognized for its unique blend of historic architecture and modern amenities.
Cow Hollow is well-served by public transportation, including Muni bus lines that connect to various parts of the city. The neighborhood is approximately a 30-minute drive from San Francisco International Airport via US-101 N. Major roads in the area include Lombard Street and Union Street.
Cow Hollow offers a variety of amenities, including boutique shops, diverse restaurants, and parks. Notable spots include Union Street for shopping and dining, and the Presidio for outdoor activities. The neighborhood's walkability and proximity to the waterfront enhance its lifestyle appeal.
Nearby schools include Galileo Academy of Science and Technology and Marina Middle School. These institutions provide educational options for families in and around Cow Hollow.
The housing market in Cow Hollow is competitive, with a median home price of approximately $1.5 million. Properties in the area often sell quickly, reflecting the neighborhood's desirability.
