Hoffmann attended elementary school in Manhattan at P.S. 3 on Hudson Street in the [[West Village]], then another school in [[Hell's Kitchen]].

=== Life at the Chelsea Hotel === Until July 1993 at age 11, Hoffmann lived in Manhattan's [[Hotel Chelsea|Chelsea Hotel]], which she later said she enjoyed. According to Hoffmann, she and her best friend, Talya Shomron, roller-skated in the hallways, spied on the drug dealer across the hall, and persuaded the [[bellhop|bellman]] to go to the neighborhood [[delicatessen]] at night to fetch them ice cream.
Hoffmann recalled, "I grew up in downtown New York in the '80s. I have a friend who grew up with me, and she puts it well. She says, 'If you grew up where we grew up, if you weren't an artist, a [[drag queen]], [[queer]], or a drug addict, then you were the freak.' I grew up in a world where I guess what is considered unusual or abnormal for the rest of America was very much considered the norm."<ref name="Vulture-Girls/Trans-2014">{{cite news|last1=Martin|first1=Denise|title=Gaby Hoffmann on Girls, Growing Up in '80s New York, and Her Amazon Show Transparent|url=http://www.vulture.com/2014/09/gaby-hoffmann-on-her-amazon-show-transparent.html|access-date=September 3, 2014|work=[[Vulture (blog)|Vulture]]|publisher=[[New York Media]]|date=September 2, 2014}}</ref> She also reported in an interview that there had been gunfire and a rape at the hotel shortly before they moved out.<ref name=Straight-1992 />
Hoffmann and her mother left the Chelsea Hotel after a long-standing dispute with the management that ended in eviction.<ref name=Straight-1992 /> Regardless, Hoffmann's connection to the hotel had a significant effect on her future. The idea for the 1994 sitcom ''[[Someone Like Me (TV series)|Someone Like Me]]'' originated after [[Gail Berman]] (former president of [[Viacom (2005–present)|Viacom]]'s [[Paramount Pictures]]) read a ''[[New York Times]]'' article<ref name=NYTimes-Eloise-2013 /> about the hotel which referred to a children's book that Viva and friend Jane Lancellotti wrote, ''Gaby at the Chelsea'' (a take on [[Kay Thompson]]'s 1950s classic [[Eloise (books)|Eloise]] books). Berman became the [[television producer|show's producer]].
=== Adolescence on the West Coast === After leaving the Chelsea when Hoffmann was 12,<ref name=IndexMag-1997 /> she and her mother moved to the west coast to a two-bedroom rented house in [[Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California|Woodland Hills]], [[Los Angeles]], [[California]], which was badly damaged in the January 17, [[1994 Northridge earthquake]]. While regrouping their living situation, Hoffmann and her mother temporarily lived at The Oceana Suites Hotel in [[Santa Monica, California]].{{citation needed|date= December 2016}}
=== College and assorted jobs === After she graduated from [[Calabasas High School]] in 1999, Hoffmann followed her half-sister Alex's example and entered New York's [[Bard College]] to pursue a degree in literature and writing. Around 2001, she temporarily left her acting career to complete her studies and graduated in 2004; her senior thesis was a [[documentary film]].{{citation needed|date=October 2024}}
After college, she spent much of her 20s drifting. She interned with a chef in Italy, then trained to be a [[doula]] after helping deliver Alex's children. For a time, Hoffmann and a boyfriend lived in an old trailer in the [[Catskill Mountains]].<ref name=NYTimes-Eloise-2013 />
