The Dolores Valley is a micro-neighborhood in the south west corner of the mission. It runs along Dolores St, and covers the valley between the two highest Dolores St. peaks. Despite being in The Mission (as evidenced by weather patterns) it is often mistaken as the start of Noe Valley due to its clean, quiet feeling. Its wide palm tree lined streets, sunny Mission weather, beautiful old victorian houses and proximity to the culture and nightlife of Valencia Street have made it a growingly popular place to live.

Local businesses serving this micro-neighborhood include:

• Mama's Market
• Wash and Fold Laundromat
• Que Tal
• Sophia's Skin Care & Electrolysis
• Beast and the Hare
• The Liberties
• The Lone Palm
• Jump Start
