The high central hills of San Francisco, with Twin Peaks and Diamond Heights south of the Castro and above Glen Canyon.
Twin Peaks is the second-highest point in San Francisco, after Mount Davidson.
Diamond Heights, just south, was a planned redevelopment built largely in the 1960s across Red Rock, Gold Mine, and Fairmount hills, with mid-century and later homes, townhomes, and condominiums. It has its own shopping center and sits on the edge of Glen Canyon Park.
The streets wind and the lots are steep.
There is no Muni Metro stop at the summit. The 37-Corbett winds up through Twin Peaks, and the 35-Eureka, 36-Teresita, and 52-Excelsior serve Diamond Heights and the surrounding slopes. The K, L, and M Metro lines run through the Twin Peaks Tunnel, with stations at Forest Hill and West Portal.
Most homes have garages.
Lots are steep, and homes are built downslope or upslope with retaining walls, deep foundations, and drainage systems.
Much of Diamond Heights was built in the 1960s and later.
