What neighborhood is 135 Gardenside Dr located in?

Twin Peaks, San Francisco

Twin Peaks refers to both the two prominent hills for which its named and the surrounding neighborhood. Twin Peaks Boulevard runs a figure eight around these hills and they are a very popular spot to hike and take in breathtaking panoramic views of the city. This area is the geographic center of San Francisco and that gives it a level of visibility (literally) and familiarity that similar residential neighborhoods don’t have.

Its high altitude lets it sit above its more urban surroundings, accessible by only one bus or several sets of intimidating staircases that connect it to its neighbors. One of these is the Iron Steps, which are actually wooden and a bit treacherous, but a well known fixture of the area. The peaks form a divide for the fog pushed in from the Pacific Ocean, which means that the west-facing slopes often get fog and strong winds, while the east-facing slopes receive more sun and warmth -- this is something to keep in mind when looking for a place to live.
