Not many people know it, but nestled in the foothills of Twin Peaks is a charming suburban neighborhood. Midtown Terrace is a midcentury neighborhood located where few would expect. Located in the heart of San Francisco, many wonder how this community with a small town atmosphere ended up there. Here are a few little-known facts about this hidden gem of a community:

This Community is Almost Entirely Residential

With the exception of an elementary school, a fire station, and a church, the community is entirely residential. Unlike other communities in San Francisco, there is none of the commercial through traffic here. The neighborhood seems almost out of place, given its location is surrounded by some of the biggest attractions in the city, but is quite settled in the foothills of the Twin Peaks.

Lush and Natural Surroundings

In this community, you can practically lose yourself in the enchanting beauty of the wood Twin Peaks foothills. There is plenty of room for outdoor exploration in this neighborhood. Go hiking, biking, and more along with any number of the nearby trails.

The Surrounding Area is Still Owned Privately

Many people are surprised to know that much of the whole Twin Peaks area is privately owned to this day. This means that there is unlikely to be an rapid urbanization in this area, and there is still further potential for future residential development. When you live here, you don’t need to worry about the sudden and unexpected commercialization of your neighborhood.
