Was fun to see the architecture and Victorian style and colors. I expected more color though. For some reason I thought there was a pastel pink ..other than the blue, in the sun, they all looked the same..different shades of yellow except one olive drab green. Pretty though. Alamo Park was nice to walk around

This is one of the most famous sights in San Francisco in part because it encapsulates the city so perfectly. You have the lovely Victorian houses, the hillside views of downtown, the open park spaces (which we love!) and the great atmosphere of the city. Its just a wonderful spot in the city to sit and enjoy!If you want to visit the Painted Ladies, you can take a Muni train (the N-Judah line) to the Duboce & Noe stop, and its a bit more than a 10-minute walk from there just up to Alamo Square Park. And whats great is that the San Francisco government recently upgraded all of Alamo Square Park, which makes it even better to visit.So grab some lunch (and maybe one of the wines or cocktails to-go) from one of the many awesome restaurants that are struggling in the city, bring them up to the park, and have a great afternoon!

There are many houses in San Francisco city which are similar to the painted ladies to be honest. But the painted ladies is special as they are a series of similar looking houses painted in different t color which stands out from the rest of the houses around.You will get the best pictures from the park opposite to the painted ladies. It was good to see them but not a must when you visit this city. Insta: nomadic_mandeep

I loved this place, so cute. Parking was easy to find and you can enjoy views of the city from the park across from the painted ladies. I love all of the buildings around that area actually but seeing this icon is one for the books!

Beautiful place to visit but the locals act like they built the park with their own hands! Almost got hit twice by them throwing balls in any direction to their dogs! Doesnt matter if its in your personal space and your 20 feet or more away. Other than that its actually a remarkable place and all sides offer stunning views.

Quick stop opposite these houses to snap some pictures since it is one of the landmark of San Francisco. These are house with owners living inside. Actually theres nothing special about these houses....

Its nice for a quick picture to say youve been there. Other than that I wouldnt stay much longer then again Im only a tourist.

Beautiful area with a park for kids and a big area with grass to either sit down, enjoy the weather or have a picnic! Part of the city can be seen from this hill. Its a great view for sure.

Great place to hang out and enjoy the view of the city high atop a grassy hill. Watch the city or the interesting San Fran population. Always something going on here.A must go for any newcomers!

Beautiful park, view lives up to the hype. Tip, they have an extensive dog park section and the locals seem to use the park for picnics which allow beer and wine.

Beautiful park for a picnic with a great view of these Victorian houses.

One of the nicest places to visit in San Francisco, it has a beautiful park to walk around right in front of The Painted Ladies.

Would have been very cool to see, but we went during the apocalypse apparently and it was orange all day. Maybe go when the world isnt falling apart haha

Ahh...The Painted ladies. They are Victorian and Edwardian houses and buildings repainted, starting in the 1960s, in three or more colors that embellish or enhance their architectural details. Theyre only famous because of postcards, movies and tv-shows. Its located between Hayes and Grove street. Street parking only. IMHO, theyre good architectural house structure nothing more.I can’t imagine living in those houses where there are people constantly hovering around to take photos. There goes your privacy out the window. lmao! Once arrived you will spend no more than a few minutes to enjoy the view. Overall, its a good tourist scenic spot.

It’s great for photos on your Instagram and all other social media, but I honestly love the park more because it’s pet friendly.. I went on August 2020 when everything is basically shut down so the park is slightly crowded, I’m not local so I don’t know if they’re actually more packed when it’s not quarantine time

This is so iconic! The Painted Ladies are those repainted Victorian and Edwardian houses and buildings. Its a tourism hot spot with visitors from all over the world coming here to see this wonderful picture perfect attraction.

Great little park right beside the Painted ladies for the kids to play.

Liked the atmosphere and surrounds. Naturally the focus are on the tow of houses and naturally set against the slope gives a very great pic or Instagram shot! But I like the hill and park opposite them and very nice views of the SF city 360 and lovely tall trees and that morning so many doggies walking and running!!

The Painted Ladies are iconic row-homes that sit directly across the street from Alamo Square Park. They were some of the few things left standing after the fire of 1906. And were the location of the T.V. Series “Full House” and the movie Mrs. Doubtfire.If you’re driving, you may have to look carefully for a spot. But you just might be able to hop out of your car just long enough to take some amazing photos!There are some phenomenal panoramic views of the amazing city of San Francisco from the area.HEADS UP: If you plan on taking a tour bus. Tour buses and vans with more than 8 people are banned from driving near the area. So you will not be able to see it from the bus. However, two companies offer Hop-On/Hop-Off service. My wife and I have done both and feel the Big-B Tour was much better overall (number of buses, sound quality, bus quality, etc.) than the Deluxe Tour.

They are nice looking houses, and certainly an iconic set. But they are just peoples houses. Not too sure what the fuss is about.

Beautiful historic buildings. Brings you back to the intro of full house. Clean park with beautiful sceneries everywhere you turn.

Love the park across the street from here. Also, enjoyed checking out the little ending library in front of one of the houses.

Beautiful place. Historical place. When you come here you feel some kind of relaxation. Every house has its own view and i would say soul. Different colors and interesting decisions create atmosphere of comfort and rest.

Nice park area where you can sit and admire the historic homes including the Painted Ladies. Honestly there are some other homes flanking the park that are even more lovely than the Ladies, which seem to get all the attention. The Ladies are fine but not that exciting.

The park across from the painted ladies was nice. However, the row of homes wasnt as impressive as it was hyped up to be. The trees covered a lot of the cute architecture and it seems like to me they need some new paint. Was expecting them to look a bit better and more magnificent.

Park in front of the painted is actually a good small picnic spot inside the city. Pet friendly. Lot of owners with pets show up daily. Play are for kids

Nothing out of the spectators. Its is better on theFuller House series. The colors on tv show are digitally enhanced so they dont look as real as they in the TV show. But overall a quick 10 mins stop and click to go. Not to waste too much time.

Nice view of sf downtown and garden full of happening activities, nice place to see the reflection of sunset to sf downtown, park to get your kids, dogs for roaming .

Park is very nice, but as for The Painted Ladies, I dont see whats so special about these houses.

Beautiful view of the city and The famous Painted Ladies. My girls were excited to see it in person after watching reruns of Full House and now Fuller house!

A must see for any Full House fan. Little did I know that Alamo Square is actually 600 ft from the actual Full House house. Not a bad walk or drive if youre feeling nostalgic. Beware of the limited parking at Alamo Square.

I mean super cute architecture but more impressive is the socially distanced lawn on Alamo Park from which you can view them while maintaining 6ft worth of space and air from your nearest neighbors.

Living nearby I grew up watching full house and so had to come here and experience this beautiful sight for myself. Beautiful Victorian homes nice park in front to sit and enjoy the view. Some areas that we walked from just beyond the row has potential, but doesnt look as nice. I hope it continues to grow as a fixer-upper community in the future. There was a playground across the street and my kids had a great time playing while we enjoyed some fresh air and stretched our legs.

The hillside views from Alamo Square Park help make these beautiful homes a more perfect landing spot for a visitor like us. Our grandkids were excited to see the legendary Full House opening set in the backdrop of my amateur blog from the busy location. But we were just as fascinated by the brilliant skyline and the magnificence of the city views. There were a constant flow of visitors while we were there, but everyone was respectful of each other and the house occupants. We visited this San Francisco landmark on a Monday around 11am PST. It was a short bus ride from the bed and breakfast.

Would have liked to see more vibrant colors and painting (per my Aunt Eileen). Many were in remodel phase. Alamo Park on the hill was great for viewing.

Worth seeing but don’t expect to be impressed. Reality is not the same as photos and these houses are poorly maintained but they make for good photos! Alamo square is fun, super windy and hilly so come prepared but fun!

Only during my trip planning, Ive learned that the popular comedy Full House is better known as Painted Ladies. The row of Victorian houses featured in the show also known as Postcard Row or Seven Sisters. Out of respect for the residentss privacy, we kept a distance when taking photos of the buildings. Took Muni bus #21 to here, bus stop is just by the side of the park.

I grew up watching full house and so had to come here and experience this beautiful sight for myself. Beautiful Victorian homes nice park in front to sit and enjoy the view. There is a coffee truck on the park and also a childrens area to play. Dog friendly and all ages can come and enjoy this historic scene.

Alamo Square is a great park. Compared to others, the people in the park are courteous to wear their mask, social distance, and genuinely courteous. In addition to the Painted Ladies, walk up Steiner Street up to Fell and see the magnificent Queen Annes

Very cool. we went at night... the city backdrop was awesome

We took public transportation for $5 for unlimited one-day rides. It was easy to get from our hotel on Sutter and Jones. We arrived at Alamo Square Playground. We walked around the park and took copious pictures. Its such a beautiful location with beautiful views.

It was very fun to visit the area of San Francisco Francisco the painted ladies. The view from the park is beautiful, the city below is magnificent and all the people make it very exciting. Such history and the weather made it perfect with the sun shining on everything the colors were so vibrant and the wind was an excellent touch.

There tired. Sad houses. People who bought them should take some pride in them. Im sure they werent cheap. Buy the old post cards they look better. Why did they buy them if they didnt want sight seers? Poor houses. Im sorry

A lovely place where you enjoy the sun. And admiring the beautiful view of the painted houses. A park and play area for children, a place for dogs lovers to reunite and enjoy

Easy to find parking. Lots of space!The historical Painted ladies

Great spot for a pic of the iconic Painted Ladies and nice park for a picnic. However if you park your car do not leave any valuables in the car. Drove past these houses and three different parking spots had shattered glass on the ground from previous break ins.

Although these ladies arent as bright as i expected. They are beautiful to go enjoy the view of. You may sit in the park across the road and enjoy the view of the whole city (the higher in the park you go, the better)Also across the road is a bus stop the 21 bus will take you back towards the city.Overall if you have extra time, its worth the visit.

Nice park. Cool to just chill in and watch the world go by (even if it was a little chilly that day!)

Stayed at a B&B called the Alamo Square Inn. Really enjoyed the time in SFO!

Great touristy spot, hang out at the park across to get some nice shots. On a clear sunny day, great place to go.Didnt get 5 stars because there are better spots in SF.

A good place to relax while resting after youve been around sf..you can have your snacks while staring the painted ladies..

Pretty great place to sit and take in some impressive architecture.

Nice views of old n new city. Loved it. Pleasant evening views added a twist to the dramatic view.

Awesome. If you look to the northeast you can see the top of the 2nd tower if the Golden Gate Bridge.

Bring your cameras! This iconic view of the gorgeous late-1800s Victorian Painted Ladies, as theyre called, is a must-see for any tourist to San Francisco. Its been featured in many movies and TV shows set in San Fran (think: Full House, So I Married an Axe Murderer, etc.) The park is steep and might be a bit tough to access for anyone who is wheelchair-bound but I think you could probably enjoy a sidewalk stroll without an issue. Parking can be very challenging at peak times. Prepare to circle around to find a spot or walk from a distance.

Nice but, no more than that those similar houses.

Great place to see the beginning scene of Full house where they are eating their picnic.

If you have watched full house as a kid this is a pure nostalgia. Parking here is a pain so please be prepared to walk

I am going to give you a quick warning that these homes can be a little overrated. But if you are a Full House or Fuller House fan, visiting these is a must.

Beautiful historic landmark. There is is a grass field right across to be able to picnic or just chill. It was great for social distancing too as they had circle la DrAwn out on the grass for individual parties. There is street parking right there and is free right now due to COVID.

The Painted ladies is one of my favorite places in sf! You have so many beautiful sights to view and such a calming place to just sit and relax!If you have time to visit just go alone sit there and enjoy the view!Added some of my pics, tell me what you think!

Always a fun stop just to look at some architectural history.

Slightly disappointed with the attraction. It is still a well known postcard view of the city, but the houses are feded, the park across the street needs a little TLC, and over all probably not worth the special trip. However if you are already there in that area, it is nice to enjoy the view on a sunny day.

Nice houses. Walk or drive all the blocks surrounding the park, there are many more beautiful houses. Park is awesome for relaxing in the city too. They have a coffee shop on site at the park. Google Maps said it was open Fri-Sun only.

They are everything you’ve heard about.... & more! Super cute and iconic. The crowds of people sitting and sunning themselves on the grassy hillside across the street is generally in a jovial mood. Multiple people will be willing to snap a photo for you.& because of the way the hillside is situated... you often can get pictures that don’t show the crowds of people.... which is really nice actually.

This is the famous painted ladies in San Francisco California. Best time to visit their is when there is SUN, so that your will see the beauty of the houses and how it’s giving life to the neighborhood.How to get there? You can ride a TRAM going there. You will be dropped to a certain drop off area and just walk towards the painted ladies. To get a good angle go climb the hill and take a photo with the painted ladies in the background.It has the same look at Apple One Banawa Heights community.

San Francisco iconic houses dot the landscape around Alamo Square Park. This modest dog park is a nice little oasis for people with fur babies to enjoy a break from the urban. The Painted Ladies are brightly decorated homes of a bygone era. I highly recommend a visit here to see some historic homes and see the downtown skyline.

This is most photographed locations situated in San Francisco at Hayes and Steiner Streets. These are Victorian houses arranged in a postcard row and is back-dropped by downtown skyscrapers, providing a stunning view. Free to watch- parking is free in the roads-30-45 mins would be enough after getting a parking to explore this place and take some good photographs.

Nice to see but nothing special. The park is great to relax and sit. Everyone who knows full house would know the painted ladies.

Pure Nostalgia if you enjoyed Full House. Good city views in the background and graffiti nearby if thats your thing. Also a pretty nice little park.

It was a bit chilly but it was nice to see they were drawing circles during Covid times too.

A nice area that has gained fame because of the intro to full house. Interesting views and a nice park. Worth a visit and plenty of street parking around the area.

The Painted Ladies can be seen from a park across the street. It is a nice park with an area to let your dog roam free. It also has great views of the city all the way around. There are many beautiful historic homes to see beyond the small group officially titled the Painted Ladies. Walking tours of the area are offered.

The Painted Ladies were neat to see. The view of the city was pretty nice. There were a lot of people around taking pictures. The area seamed pretty safe as compared to down down.

Its typical and well known sightseeing in San Francisco, but to be honest, there isnt much to see: 6 equal houses, differently only by the painting. On another hand, Alamo Square Park, which is literally across the street, is very inviting to spend some time, walking, relaxing and do a picnic. The park itself is beautiful and really worth the visit!

It was nice. The park is good for dogs and for human exercise. Good place to take pics and the houses made for a pretty backdrop for your family pics

The beautiful place where I want to stay a day.

Beautiful houses...crazy architecture and theres a hill right in front of them that you can walk up to take pictures.

Awesome dog park with lots of chill people enjoying the views and socializing. Picnics everywhere.

Not really much more than a few houses.

This is one of the most photographed place in San Francisco. Also very popular with tourists, since this house of featured in famous TV series Full House. These are iconic Victorian homes right in front of Alamo square. You will always find people taking pictures and selfies. A must visit place in San Francisco.

We were in the area when visiting San Francisco so we decided to stop by here.The houses reminded me a bit of rainbow row in Charleston.Theyre definitely pretty and well designed. You can get a good view from the hill in Alamo park.I wouldnt go out of my way to come here, but its worth a stop if youre near by.

Definitely one of those places worth seeing, even though you wont spend much time around there. There is just something about it- maybe the Fuller house memories?! There is small park just on the opposite and it is just nice to sit down and look at the houses. You wont spend ages here, probably just around 10minutes but it is just worth it. Although it would be a nice spot to have a small picnic there and you also definitely can take amazing photos. Itook the photo with the green car parked upfront....it just had something about it.

The painted ladies are just houses, nothing special about it. What is good about this place is that you have an amazing view of the city which you can enjoy from the park across the street.There you can sit for a few moment and enjoy the view or even go with friends and make a picnic on a sunny day.

This park is really nice. While the painted ladies are nice, my wife and I enjoyed spending a good half hour just relaxing in the dog park that’s over the crest of the hill. We even had a few dogs bring their ball toys over for us to throw for them — it was great! Be prepared to not be with the painted ladies alone as there are a TON of tourists that literally sit across the street and just stare at the houses, we kind of didn’t get it. Oh, we also had a cool crazy guy wearing a thong dance across the whole park lawn while we were there, so that made the experience that much fuller.

Always gorgeous!! Lots of memories of me and my child when he was younger then. They have a great off- leash portion for doggies and one of the best playgrounds! When my son was four we took a summer to visit as many top-rated playgrounds i.v San Francisco as we could in 2 months. We were on a quest to fund the top ten best parks/ playgrounds in the city limits and we would each take pictures and Id write (hed dictate {Id transcribe}) and we kept a photo- journal log for each visit.At the end of the summer Alamo Square (location of The Painted Lady Homes) was ranked by both of us #3 out of the 37 parks we traveled to that summer!!!!! Enjoy.

I love it, Alamo square, Painted Ladies, its beautiful place, where can spend good time with friends, animals

Pretty cool place to sit and relax. Nice little park near by to enjoy too.

Beautifully painted Victorian homes. There are many other Victorian homes in the area that are just as beautiful but not quite as famous as the painted ladies.

Great location to relaxCatch some viewsRest to get some energi

A very nice park to go and relax, study or have a picnic with friends. Also a lot of people walk and play their dogs here so if you have a pet you might consider bringing them along as they will definitely have a lot of fun! The painted ladies are a really nice architectural sight and their colours give the whole area a very nice vibe. Definitely worth a visit here.

This kind of visit isnt my cup of tea to begin with. I didnt like the fact that the owners do not like tourists taking pictures and staring constantly. Yes, theyre the Full House buildings. For me it wasnt enough to make me feel like I was a burden on the residents. The park across the street is nice. It certainly opens up more opportunities for people to stare and take pictures. I guess, if youre going to live there, you know what youre getting into. There are plenty of tour buses that will drive by or even stop.

In American architecture, painted ladies are Victorian and Edwardian houses and buildings repainted, starting in the 1960s, in three or more colors that embellish or enhance their architectural details. The term was first used for San Francisco Victorian houses by writers Elizabeth Pomada and Michael Larsen in their 1978 book Painted Ladies: San Franciscos Resplendent Victorians.Although polychrome decoration was common in the Victorian era, the colors used on these houses are not based on historical precedentSince then, the term has also been used to describe groups of colorfully repainted Victorian houses in other American cities, such as the Charles Village neighborhood in Baltimore; Lafayette Square in St. Louis; the greater San Francisco and New Orleans areas, in general; Columbia-Tusculum in Cincinnati; the Old West End in Toledo, Ohio; the neighborhoods of McKnight and Forest Park in Springfield, Massachusetts; and the city of Cape May, New Jersey.

Painted Ladies is an iconic spot of San Francisco. It was so beautiful and I love these colours!! There is a park near here. That park is also good! :)

It’s wonderful to hang out with these beautiful old painted ladies - the houses built more than 120 years ago, which are standing in beauty in the heart of San Francisco, fabulously contrasting with the urban modern architecture of the financial district just behind them.

There are streets with houses much more colorful and interesting than these. This one was a pretty big disappointment. We actually drove past twice because they are so bland and indistinct.

Definitely a must stop while out here. I usually hang around at park across the street and enjoy the views.

Nice park. Seemed to have a lot of locals hanging out with their dogs. I wish the food truck was open during my visit.

This place is a bit overrated to me, as I saw so many likewise streets with painted ladies in San Francisco where I was alone.At this place, you will find yourself on the hill with dozens of tourists who are taking the same pictures.What I did like was the view from the hill over the city skyline. Enjoyed the morning sitting on the bench here!

The park across the street was nice if you like dogs. The houses look cool but I wouldn’t go too far out my my way to visit these places. There is cool architecture all over the city.
