When I was a boy I used to watch the sitcom "Full House" and they had the row of painted ladies in the opening credits. So when I went to SF for the first time I just had to see it :)
The painted ladies of Alamo square is probably about 1 mile west of the BART station Civic Center. Again there's nothing to do there in itself but you've got a great view of a San Francisco icon - and on a clear day (not in the foggy mornings) you can see the financial district with the iconic transamerica pyramid in the background. Directions: About 1 mile West of BART station civic center

The whole square & surrounding area was worth a visit. The green space in the centre of the square is a great place to relax or have a picnic.

 SF's famed "Painted Ladies" by Sunshine64
Real people live in these beautiful houses, and supposedly the city gives them money and keep these historical treasures looking sharp. Leave a Comment

 Painted Ladies San Francisco by AVG2319
I have to say that of all the things we did in San Francisco this was kind of a disappointment. No doubt it has a great view from here, but when we went Alamo Square it was unkept. The grass was tall,the weeds were tall, the trees needed trimming, there were high school kids hanging out (when school was in session) smoking and it just didn't look like a great spot to have a family picnic or anything. No warm fuzzy feelings here. Maybe we picked a bad day, but it wasn't the park like setting I had imagined.
The view of the "Painted Ladies" with the city behind was beautiful though and made it worth the stop.

 Alamo Square by jglsongs
ALAMO SQUARE is absolutely a beautiful neighborhood park looking out on the city and especially, the "Painted Ladies," a row of Victorian houses in mint condition. This could be one of the most photographed parts of the city, and it is beautiful.
It would seem the whole neighborhood and park perimeter would be filled with these Victorian gems; they're not. It's really just that strip of houses along one block. Still, it's worth seeing.
Sit in the park overlooking the houses, have a picnic, play frisbee, and talk to the people around you. Depending on the day, most of them could be locals! Leave a Comment Directions: Alamo Sq. is bordered by Divisidero, Golden Gate, Webster and Fell. The MUNI #21stops right along the park, running along Hayes.
