Living in Midtown Terrace & Forest Hill Extension

Midtown Terrace sits high on the western slope of Twin Peaks, directly beneath Sutro Tower — a tidy mid-century neighborhood of single-family homes built in the 1950s, many with sweeping views and the kind of light and quiet that come with being near the top of the city. Just to the southwest, Forest Hill Extension is a small pocket of homes adjoining the prestigious Forest Hill residence park, blending some of that area’s character with a more relaxed, mid-century feel.

Both neighborhoods are remarkably central — minutes from the Castro, Cole Valley, West Portal, and the Inner Sunset — while feeling tucked away on the hillside. The Midtown Terrace Playground and Recreation Center and the trails of Twin Peaks and Mount Sutro are right at hand.
