Twin Peaks
From both Twin Peaks and Diamond Heights spread some of the most
dramatic views San Francisco has to offer. A mix of low-rise apartment
and condo complexes and single-family homes comprise this city-center
location. Diamond Heights was developed primarily in the 1960s and
1970s and contains a number of sizeable apartment complexes. The
Diamond Heights shopping district supplies the area with a newly
renovated Safeway, Burger King, dry cleaners, restaurant and cash
machines. There are plenty of hiking and dog walking trails in both
Twin Peaks and Glen Canyon Parks. Heading west up 17th street off
Market and Castro you begin the ascent to an area known as Corona
Heights. Exclusively residential this area of the City is anchored on
the north by Buena Vista Park, on the East by Corona Heights Park and
on the southwest by Clarendon Heights. Clarendon Heights is the gateway
to twin Peaks on one side and West of Twin Peaks and the Sunset on the
other. All of these areas offer unique vistas with amazing views
offering up a different aspect of the City for residence to enjoy.
Homes in the area range from Victorians and mansions to family homes,
flats and apartments.
The lucky residents of the villas along the summits of the two
900-foot Twin Peaks are blessed with a spectacular view, as are most of
the single family homes and apartment buildings on the slopes.
